“…Although we did not measure leaf characteristics (physical and chemical features), we hypothesised that the heavier pupal mass for SAB females might be a direct response to host plant characteristics (Wheeler & Center, 1997;Diaz et al, 2011)as insect preference and performance can be driven by plant traits which are occasionally difficult to disentangle (Jermy, 1984;Bernays & Chapman, 1994;Clissold et al, 2006;Hull-Sanders et al, 2007) because of the multiplicity of indirect biotic and abiotic effects that may explain a correlation (Hunter & Price, 1998).

“…Furthermore, the multiple-choice test indicated that S. mauritianum was not a host when grown in full sun but that it was accepted as a host plant when grown under partial shade conditions. This Þnding indicates that plant-related changes inßuenced host preference of C. hybrida, and provides an explanation for the ambiguous (false positive and false negative) results observed during quarantine evaluations, as was suggested by van Klinken (1999) and Diaz et al (2011). In addition to their physiological role in reducing water loss due to transpiration (Young and Smith 1980), trichomes have been reported to play a role in plant defense (Levin 1973, Johnson 1975, Southwood 1986, although contradictory results were reported by Andres and Connor (2003).…”

“…The main focus in understanding the underlying cause for such ambiguous results has been on insect behavioral aspects such as disruption of host perception owing to captivity, motivational status, prior experience, and learning (Blossey et al 1994, Olckers et al 1995, Heard 2000, Withers et al 2000, Sheppard et al 2005), whereas only a few studies have focused on the aspect of changes in plant quality owing to the growth conditions (van Klinken 1999, Diaz et al 2011 in environmental chambers, glasshouses or shade nets where test plants are grown Borea 2009, Hakizimana andOlckers 2013). …”

“…(Lincoln and Mooney 1984, Reynolds and Crossley 1997, Schile and Mopper 2006. The beetle Gratiana boliviana Spaeth, for example, causes greater levels of damage to Solanum viarum Dunal in shaded vs. full sun habitats (Diaz et al 2011). Based on habitat preferences in its native range, it was predicted that L. trifida gall densities and associated herbivory levels would be greatest in longer vs. shorter hydroperiods in Florida wetland systems.…”
