DOI: 10.1002/ece3.70594

Abstract: ABSTRACT The vertebrate skull is a complex structure, and studies of skull shape have yielded considerable insight into the evolutionary forces shaping specialized phenotypes in organisms as diverse as bats, frogs, and fossorial animals. Here,… read more here.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

recommendations! Published in 2020 at "Scientific Reports"

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: 10.1038/s41598-024-58711-6

Abstract: Generalist species, which exploit a wide range of food resources, are expected to be able to combine available resources as to attain their specific macronutrient ratio (percentage of caloric intake of protein, lipids and carbohydrates).… 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.
