2011 journal article

Field Observations of Oviposition by a Specialist Herbivore on Plant Parts and Plant Species Unsuitable as Larval Food

Environmental Entomology, 40(6), 1478–1486.

By: N. Benda n, C. Brownie n, C. Schal n  & F. Gould n 

author keywords: Heliothis subflexa; Physalis; oviposition mistakes; nonhost oviposition; neonate movement
MeSH headings : Animals; Female; Genetic Fitness; Larva / genetics; Larva / physiology; Moths / genetics; Moths / physiology; Movement; North Carolina; Oviposition; Physalis; Plant Leaves; Seasons
TL;DR: Where a female places her eggs can have a major impact on the fitness of her offspring, especially for insects in which the winged adults are far more mobile than the neonates, and the fitness cost of oviposition on nonhosts may be balanced by fitness benefits of such behavior.

2008 journal article

Fruit abscission by Physalis species as defense against frugivory

ENTOMOLOGIA EXPERIMENTALIS ET APPLICATA, 130(1), 21–27.

By: N. Benda*, C. Brownie n, C. Schal n  & F. Gould n 

Contributors: N. Benda*, C. Brownie n, C. Schal n  & F. Gould n 

author keywords: caterpillar foraging; host plant location; Heliothis subflexa; Heliothis virescens; specialist behavior; plant architecture; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae; Solanaceae
TL;DR: The higher fruit abscission rates in P. pubescens may be an evolved response to its greater susceptibility to searching caterpillars, according to a close relative, the generalist Heliothis virescens Fabricius. (via Semantic Scholar)
