Facultative ‘secondary’ bacterial symbionts and the nutrition of the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum (2006, background): “…aphid utilization patterns of other dietary nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, but such scenarios are not supported by any substantive evidence demonstrating that these nutrients influence aphid utilization of plants (Douglas, 2003) or resistance to parasitoids (Falabella et al., 2000).”
Non‐target risk assessment of Bt crops – Cry protein uptake by aphids (2011, background): “Most Sternorrhyncha (including Aphididae) feed predominantly or exclusively on phloem sap (Douglas 2003).”
The impact of adult diet on parasitoid reproductive performance (2017, background): “Since honeydew producers directly feed on phloem sap and do not degrade several compounds (Douglas 2003), honeydew reflects phloem sap composition.”
Stress magnitude matters: different intensities of pulsed water stress produce non‐monotonic resistance responses of host plants to insect herbivores (2009, background): “Assuming that dietary quality was rather improved by our stress treatments ( Douglas, 2003; Huberty & Denno, 2004 ), accessibility of nutrients may help to explain the best performance on non-stressed plants.”
