- Biology, Medicine
- Annual review of entomology
- 2002
Host plant quality is a key determinant of the fecundity of herbivorous insects. Components of host plant quality (such as carbon, nitrogen, and defensive metabolites) directly affect potential and… Expand

Mortality during dispersal and the cost of host‐specificity in parasites: how many aphids find hosts?
- S. A. Ward, S. Leather, J. Pickup, R. Harrington
- Biology
- 1 September 1998
1. For a full assessment of explanations for the evolution of host-specificity it is necessary to estimate the probability that a dispersing parasite finds a host. We develop a method of estimating… Expand
