We conducted a series of laboratory and field experiments to determine the effects of variation in plant quality and prey species on the survival, dispersal, and population size of a common, omnivorous insect. We also ...

The evolution of omnivory in heteropteran insects 

Eubanks, Micky D.; Styrsky, John D.; Denno, Robert F. (2019-12-19)
Although omnivory is common and widespread across many animal taxa, the evolutionary origin of omnivory, the selective forces that promote or constrain omnivory, and the morphological, physiological, and behavioral hurdles ...

Host plants mediate omnivore-herbivore interactions and influence prey suppression 

Eubanks, Micky D.; Denno, Robert F. (2019-12-19)
We conducted laboratory and field experiments to determine the effects of plant quality and prey abundance on the intensity of interactions involving an omnivorous insect, its two herbivorous prey, and their shared host ...
