• Honeydew production and honeydew sugar composition of polyphagous black bean aphid, Aphis fabae (Hemiptera: Aphididae) on various host plants and implications for ant-attendance (2005, methodology): “Since the honeydew sugar composition does not differ significantly between aphid age classes (Fischer et al., 2001), a random selection of only two age classes should not bias the results.”
• Honeydew amino acids in relation to sugars and their role in the establishment of ant‐attendance hierarchy in eight species of aphids feeding on tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) (2004, methodology): “Aphids therefore compete for the mutualistic services of ants (Addicott, 1978; Cushman & Addicott, 1991; Cushman &Whitham, 1991; Fischer et al., 2001).”
