DOI: 10.1002/ps.4346
Abstract: BACKGROUND The mirid bug Apolygus lucorum (Meyer-Dür) is a principal pest of cotton that also causes great damage to many other crops in China. A study was conducted to assess the mortality of A. lucorum… read more here.

Palatability of an introduced seaweed does not differ between native and non-native populations

DOI: 10.1007/s00227-018-3291-5
Abstract: Generalist consumers potentially limit introduced prey populations when they are willing and able to consume those prey, but because generalist consumers vary in feeding preference, they are not equally effective in resisting invasions. Previous work… read more here.

Invasive Spartina alterniflora exhibits increased resistance but decreased tolerance to a generalist insect in China

DOI: 10.1007/s10340-018-1020-y
Abstract: Several theories explaining the post-introduction evolution of invasive plants predict that specialist-enemy release often leads to decreased defense in introduced plants, but how novel generalist consumers in the introduced ranges affect plant-defense evolution remains largely… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10340-019-01162-0
Abstract: Biogeographical variation in herbivore communities may drive invasive plants to evolve lower defense against specialist herbivores but higher defense against generalist herbivores (shifting defense hypothesis, SDH). However, empirical tests on this topic have been strongly… read more here.

Ellagitannins from the Onagraceae Decrease the Performance of Generalist and Specialist Herbivores

DOI: 10.1007/s10886-018-1038-x
Abstract: Phenolics have a role in defenses against herbivores, but the defensive functions of specific groups of phenolics are still poorly understood. For example, ellagitannins (a type of hydrolyzable tannin) are predicted to decrease insect herbivore… read more here.

Effects of above- and belowground herbivory of specialists and generalists on the growth and defensive chemicals of introduced and native Chinese tallow seedlings

DOI: 10.1007/s11104-020-04666-2
Abstract: Spatially separated aboveground (AG) and belowground (BG) herbivores can affect each other and alter plant growth and defense, although the outcome of AG-BG herbivore interactions may vary with herbivore type (specialists versus generalists). Here, we… read more here.

Characteristics determining host suitability for a generalist parasite

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-24627-1
Abstract: Host quality is critical for parasites. The common cuckoo Cuculus canorus is a generalist avian brood parasite, but individual females show strong preference for a specific host species. Here, we use three extensive datasets to… read more here.

Pollen defenses negatively impact foraging and fitness in a generalist bee (Bombus impatiens: Apidae)

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-58274-2
Abstract: Plants may benefit from limiting the community of generalist floral visitors if the species that remain are more effective pollinators and less effective pollenivores. Plants can reduce access to pollen through altered floral cues or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jee/tox202
Abstract: Abstract Generalist insect predators play an essential role in regulating the populations of Bemisia tabaci and other pests in agricultural systems, but may be affected negatively by insecticides applied for pest management. Evaluation of insecticide… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2017.0770
Abstract: Ecological and anthropogenic corridors are becoming more common worldwide, but little is known about how corridor size (width) affects species' movements, and thus their effects. Here we investigated whether 4- and 8-m wide anthropogenic corridors… read more here.
