DOES INTRAGUILD PREDATION ENHANCE PREDATOR PERFORMANCE? A STOICHIOMETRIC PERSPECTIVE (2004, background): “Even in cases where predator performance is linked to prey nutrition (e.g., Li and Jackson 1997), there is little reason to expect generalist predators to restrict their foraging to the most nitrogen-rich prey (Singer and Bernays 2003).”
MIGHT NITROGEN LIMITATION PROMOTE OMNIVORY AMONG CARNIVOROUS ARTHROPODS (2003, background): “Thus, when faced with low-quality prey, an alternative to feeding compensation is selective feeding via enhanced discrimination among prey (Greenstone 1979) and differential extraction of high-value nutrients from prey (Cohen 1995, Furrer and Ward 1995, Wu et al. 2000).”
Relationships of Natural Enemies and Non-prey Foods (2009, background): “Singer and Bernays (2003) pointed out that other considerations, such as toxin dilution and predator avoidance, may also lead to omnivorous feeding habits.”
Nutritional imbalance in an extreme generalist omnivore: tolerance and recovery through complementary food selection (2006, background): “Although the causes are no doubt diverse (Barbosa 1988; Singer & Bernays 2003), diet quality is almost certainly central (Schultz 1988).”
