DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2018.10.018
Abstract: Abstract Generalist herbivores are less susceptible to changes in the plant composition of their habitats than specialists are because generalists can consume a diverse array of plants. However, even generalists exhibit dietary choices, for example… read more here.
