Chapter 1: Pim Pim had friends, a lot of friends, but none like her. Well, in a physical sense, she was not dissimilar. Like most of the others, she was green with two banded antennae, six legs and a long stylet to feed on the phloem sap of various leguminous plants. Unlike the others, Pim had always wanted more adventure from the world, a desire she would come to regret. Chapter 2: George Hours were spent in the laboratory constructing prototypes. George’s meticulous nat

Global climate and atmospheric change are widely predicted to affect many ecosystems. Herbivorous insects account for 25% of the planet’s species so their responses to environmental change are pivotal to how future ecosystems will function. Atmospheric change affects feeding guilds differently, however, with sap-feeding herbivores consistently identified as net beneficiaries of predicted increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations (eCO2). The mechanistic basis f
