| Polyphagous insects eat many plants that are unpalatable to oligophagous or monophagous species, even though all these insects may receive the same sensory information about plant chemistry. |
| Rearing the oligophagous Cactoblastis cactorum on meridic diets containing different nonhost proteins. |
| With only a few exceptions, the host plants of the oligophagous beetles are taxonomically related. |
| As serious agricultural insect pests, cotton bollworms are euryphagous insects, but oriental tobacco budworms are oligophagous insects. |
| This is true for many insects that are oligophagous or monophagous on plants that contain characteristic chemicals. |
| Sequestration of allomones from plants by insects is not unusual, but normally associated with monophagous or oligophagous species. |
