What's the difference between phytophagous and phytophilous?

Phytophagous


Definition:

  • (a.) Feeding on plants; herbivorous; as, a phytophagous animal.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Compounds identified as sex attractant pheromones in a number of phytophagous insects were found in a variety of host plants.
  • (2) This branch was comprised of moderate-sized, phytophagous gliders, of which the other living descendants are the dermopterans.
  • (3) In cells of the duodenal glands of the carnivorous and omnivorous receptors to concanavalin A and lentil lectin (D-mannosoglycans ) are absent and they are present in the glands of the phytophagous animals.
  • (4) In cells of some parts of the glands presence of receptors to soya bean lectin (N-acetyl-D-galactosamine++) is the most characteristic sign of the duodenal glands in the carnivorous and phytophagous animals.
  • (5) With the aid of a simulation model, an analogous process is demonstrated for populations of phytophagous insects.
  • (6) Composition and histotopography of lectin receptors have been studied in 12 species of mammals with various nutritional specialization: carnivorous, phytophagous and omnivorous.
  • (7) The unusually wide intracellular distribution of catalase in this phytophagous insect is apparently an evolutionary adaptation to the absence of glutathione peroxidase; hence, lack of a glutathione peroxidase-glutathione reductase role in alleviating stress from lipid peroxidation.
  • (8) Foliar and soil application in concentrations below the recommended rate of the herbicide 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole to the host plant Phaseolus vulgaris L. results in structural alterations of the protein-synthesizing apparatus of midgut and salivary-gland cells of the phytophagous spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) independent of its mode of application.
  • (9) Monooxygenases appear to be important in insect growth and development, in adaptation to multiple food plants in phytophagous insects and in pesticide resistance.
  • (10) An attempt was made to assess the efficacy of phytophagous fishes viz., Ctenopharyngodon idella, the Chinese grass carp and Osphronemus goramy, the giant gourami in the control of mansonioides mosquitoes by checking the growth of aquatic weeds which support their breeding.
  • (11) Cereal aphids were the major group of phytophagous insects collected from all of the trial sites.
  • (12) Sterol metabolism of this insect thus differs considerably from that found for most phytophagous insects.
  • (13) These deleterious properties of canavanine render it a highly toxic secondary plant constituent that probably functions as an allelochemic agent that deters the feeding activity of phytophagous insects and other herbivores.
  • (14) Kurstaki, is a potent entomocidal agent that alters a K+ current across midgut tissue of many phytophagous insects.
  • (15) Avermectin B1 (abamectin), the major component of the fermentation, also showed potent activity against arthropods in preliminary laboratory evaluations and was subsequently selected for development to control phytophagous mites and insect pests on a variety of agricultural and horticultural crops worldwide.
  • (16) The presence of appreciable activity of the urea-cycle enzymes in the tissues of Sarcophaga ruficornis, a carnivorous dipteran insect, all through its life-cycle appears significant in view of their total absence barring arginase (L-arginine ureohydrolase, EC 3.5.3.1) in the phytophagous lepidopteran eri silkwork Philosamia ricini at any stage of development.
  • (17) Analysis of the sterols of the milkweed bug, Oncopeltus fasciatus (Dallas) and dietary sunflowerseeds revealed that there is little, if any, conversion of dietary C28 OR C29 phytosterols to cholesterol in this phytophagous insect.
  • (18) In phytophagous animals formation of the protective barrier in the stomach occurs differently: in the mouse and hamster the cytochemical differentiation of the tegmental and glandular epitheliocytes is completed during the prenatal period, and in the rabbit and guinea pig--only by the 30th day after birth.
  • (19) These phytophagous species are subject to both endogenous and exogenous sources of oxidative stress from toxic oxygen radicals, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and lipid peroxides (LOOH).
  • (20) They exhibit remarkable properties of specificity, being primarily toxic to phytophagous mites but of very low toxicity to most nontarget species, including insects, fish, birds, and mammals.
