“…The results suggest that host-plant preferences of M.e. argentinus larvae could be innate or acquired through imprinting in early life stages (Jermy et al, 1968;Yamamoto, 1974;Jermy, 1987;Bernays and Weiss, 1996;Silva, Gonçalves and Moreira, 2014;Rosenwald et al, 2017). The observed preferences could reflect larval constraints in host selection if larvae are influenced by mother choice at early stages rather than active host choice.…”

“…The frequency and suitability of host plant species encountered by phytophagous insects can vary in time and space because of heterogeneity in the environment, disturbance, colonization, and intra-or interspecific interactions [29]. For herbivorous insects, ecological theory and empirical data on host plant selection provide evidence that adults can engage in host-plant selection for their offspring by choosing to lay their eggs on particular plants [3,7,13,17,18,[29][30][31], However, there is now accumulating evidence revealing that immature life stages can also play an active role in host discrimination, especially in Lepidopterans [19][20][21][22]32,33]. We find evidence of M. rufonota larval preference for C. camphora and C. bodinieri as measured by the mass of leaf consumed by the larvae and by the larval choice of host plants and time spent on each leaf.…”

“…In recent decades, the behavioral mechanisms by which phytophagous insects locate and select potential host plants have been extensively documented [14,15]. However, the vast majority of this work has focused on host plant selection of phytophagous insects for feeding or egg-laying by adult insects [3,7,[16][17][18], while the role of larval stages in host plant selection has received less attention in empirical studies to date [19][20][21][22].…”

“…Thus, selection on adult females for discrimination between cultivars can be low. And (4) some larvae disperse within and among plants during development (Cunningham et al, 2011; Rivera & Burrack, 2012; Moreira et al, 2016; Rosenwald et al, 2017). Larvae may have a more active role in host choice than females in species with highly mobile larvae, and therefore, weak selection for strong preference–performance relationship would be expected (Thompson, 1988; Craig & Itami, 2008).…”
