Parasitic Stress and Self-Medication in Wild Animals
TL;DR: Self-medication is incorporated into the broader phenomena—namely, the effects of plant chemicals across several trophic levels—and categorizes self-medicating behavior into two basic forms: prophylactic and therapeutic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does "enemy-free space" exist? experimental host shifts of an herbivorous fly
TL;DR: It is shown that enemy-free space can exist for an herbivorous insect utilizing a novel host plant, and that natural enemies may, in some cases, offset physiological fitness costs often associated with developing in novel plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemistry of Cirsium and Carduus: a role in ecological risk assessment for biological control of weeds?
TL;DR: It is suggested that further research on thistle chemistry in insect feeding is warranted, since the exotic Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense) is an invasive thistle of current concern in North America and such research on mechanisms underlying host range expansion by exotic insects would be useful.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antifeedants in tropical pest management
TL;DR: Practical usefulness of antifeedants derived from plants for management of insect pests in selected field crops and stored grains is discussed and would require some definitions of quality control and standardization of biological properties for large-scale use.

Oviposition Preference and Larval Performance of Liriomyza helianthi (Diptera: Agromyzidae) on Normal and Novel Host Plants
TL;DR: There is an asymmetry between oviposition preference and larval performance in novel hosts of specialist leafminer Liriomyza helianthi on normal host plants and in some novel hosts in the same tribe (Heliantheae).
