Floral feeding increases diet breadth in a polyphagous mirid
Herbivorous insect species vary significantly in the number of host plant taxa they attack. Previous studies suggested host range expansion to be more likely to occur in herbivores whose immatures feed on flowers due to flowers containing lower levels of plant defense compounds than vegetative tissu...
