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
