Jul 5, 2024 · Here, in both Platycerium and insect colonies, guests exhibit host-specificity and dependence on their host for survival, contributing to a nuanced relationship. Colonies inhabited by D. gracilicaule had similar densities, but higher per capita fecundity.
Jul 4, 2022 · We review sensory cues involved at different stages of interaction with host plants and outline a unified scheme of insect–host interaction mechanisms. Generalist species may be best understood as specialized organisms with a longer tail of secondary host species that they accept to a lessening extent.
Oct 12, 2020 · Host odor perception is composed of three main elements: plants (host), air (carrier medium), and insects (guest). Plants release different blends of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which herbivore insects perceive as cues for feeding and egg deposition as well as to avoid undesired host.

Sep 30, 2014 · However, there are examples of insects making ‘mistakes’ and being attracted to poor quality hosts. While insects have evolved ways of finding hosts, plants have been under selection pressure to do precisely the opposite and evade detection or defend themselves when attacked.
