| It is expected that the diversity of fruit trees in the natural forest increases the likelihood of finding monophagous species of fruit flies. |
| Secondly, threatened species are mainly monophagous and sedentary. |
| In this area, the monophagous, leaf-feeding, chrysomelid beetle Galerucella calmariensis is the main herbivore on L. salicaria. |
| The Galeruca is a monophagous coleopteran which feeds on leaves, both in its cocoon state as when it is adult. |
| Sequestration of allomones from plants by insects is not unusual, but normally associated with monophagous or oligophagous species. |
| Since most insects are monophagous or oligophagous, the distinctness of the odours of different plants often enables them to locate their specific hosts from a distance. |
