We predicted that the alien species experiences relaxed herbivory pressure by specialist herbivores (enemy release hypothesis ERH) whereas it is still attacked by generalist herbivores. Impacts of two generalist (gastropods and ...doi:10.4236/ajps.2013.42A050Anne-Laure JacquemartValérie VanparysPierre ...
Theory suggests that specialist species are more competitive in natural communities. However, empirical work has shown that specialist species are declining worldwide due to habitat loss and fragmentation. We addressed the question of the coexistence of specialist and generalist species with a spatially ...

Host-use trade-offs displayed by generalist and specialist sister species of the genus Helicoverpa were evaluated to examine the relationship between maternal choice and offspring performance. The prediction of optimal oviposition theory, that females will choose to lay eggs on plants on which their ...
The site (community) order based on decreasing human disturbance was positively correlated with butterfly species diversity (H′), species richness (the total number of species), and the number of specialist species in a community, but not with the number of generalist species. The number of ...

Bayesian species delimitation reveals generalist and specialist parasitic wasps on Galerucellabeetles (Chrysomelidae): sorting by herbivore or plant host Peter A Hambäck, Elisabet Weingartner, Lars Ericson, Lisa Fors, Anna Cassel-Lundhagen, Johan A Stenberg & Johannes Bergsten BMC Evolutiona...
We examine the differential impact of specialist and generalist seed predators in the reproductive output of both species and evaluate how those effects relate with plant rarity. Furthermore, we assess how insect predation pressure is correlated with plant traits indicative of size and fecundity and ...
Some specialist insects feed on plants rich in secondary compounds, which pose a major selective pressure on both the phytophagous and the gut microbiota. However, microbial communities of toxic plant feeders are still poorly characterized. Here, we show the bacterial communities of the gut of two...
