The role of leaf cellulose content in determining host plant preferences of three defoliating insects present in the Andean‐Patagonian forest

Phytophagous insects choose their feeding resources according to their own requirements in addition to properties of the host plants, such as biomechanical defences. The feeding preferences of the native folivorous insects of the Andean‐Patagonian forest (Argentina) have rarely been studied. These e...
