Plant defense against herbivores: chemical aspects. (2012, background): “In some cases, insects use such primarily chemical defenses as a cue to find their host, or they exploit the plant-derived compounds for their own defense against parasitoids and predators (44, 92).”
Chemical ecology in coupled human and natural systems: people, manioc, multitrophic interactions and global change (2010, background): “For example, humans, like many phytophagous insects (Opitz and Müller 2009), exploit the chemical defences of plants they ingest to combat their own enemies.”
Closely related pollen generalist bees differ in their ability to develop on the same pollen diet: evidence for physiological adaptations to digest pollen (2011, background): “While it is well known that many herbivorous insects are physiologically adapted to cope with the defensive secondary compounds of their hosts (Opitz & Müller 2009), knowledge of whether bees require specialized physiological adaptations to digest the pollen of certain plant taxa is lacking.”
Effects of pyrrolizidine alkaloids through different trophic levels (2011, neutral): “…and Weller 2004; Hartmann 2009; Opitz and Müller 2009), the leaf beetles belonging to the genera Longitarsus, Oreina and Platyphora (for reviews see: Pasteels and Hartmann 2004; Hartmann 2009; Opitz and Müller 2009), and the beetle Chauliognathus fallax (Cantharidae) (Klitzke and Trigo 2000).”
