“…For example, it has been shown for butterflies that the probability of oviposition on a plant is influenced by various plant characters, including species identity, size, and quality (e.g., David and Gardiner, 1962;Ma and Schoonhoven, 1973;Singer, 1971Singer, , 1983Chew, 1977;Wiklund, 1975;Jones, 1977b;Rausher, 1978;Courtney, 1981;McDonald and McInnes, 1985).
