   Author : Hanna Olovsson; [2017]
   Keywords : host preference; Spodoptera littoralis; induction of feeding; cotton; olfactometer; y-tube;

   Abstract : Gustatory and olfactory stimuli have been shown to induce feeding preferences in generalist phytophagous insect species. Generalists have to process a lot of information while performing host selection and it has been suggested that this may be a limitation, while it makes the host detection slower than for specialist species that process a lower amount of information.
