Burghardt et al. (2010) stated: "Most species are specialists that use only a few of the myriad plant lineages available to them for growth and reproduction. … Specialists have followed an evolutionary path that has enabled them to circumvent particular plant defenses by developing highly specific behavioral and physiological adaptations that defuse such defenses."
