Does mother know best? The preference–performance hypothesis and parent–offspring conflict in aboveground–belowground herbivore life cycles (2011, background): “Such ‘bad motherhood’ decisions have received considerable attention, with a range of explanations proposed for why the adult insect does not choose the optimal host plant (discussed by Mayhew, 2001; Gripenberg et al., 2010).”
Yeast, not fruit volatiles mediate Drosophila melanogaster attraction, oviposition and development (2012, neutral): “3) and is in line with the preference–performance concept that predicts reduced investments into unsuitable oviposition substrates (Jaenike 1978; Singer & Thomas 1988; Gripenberg et al. 2010).”
Predicting novel herbivore–plant interactions (2013, background): “Th is situation is very common (Gripenberg et al. 2010), and provides more opportunities for host shifts, as discussed below.”
Plant pathogens structure arthropod communities across multiple spatial and temporal scales (2013, background): “Does the general correspondence between preference and performance in insect herbivores (Gripenberg et al. 2010) remain valid when the herbivore is faced with healthy and pathogen-infected plants and plant tissues?”
