大多数植食性昆虫只吃很少的植物物种，然而驱动这种特殊性的生态和进化力量还没有完全理解。假设丛枝菌根（AM）真菌可以确定植食性昆虫的专长，通过对昆虫生长的差异影响，进行了测试，从英国植物群的例子。在联合国，具有强烈菌根的唇形科植物科和物种比那些弱菌根的植物科和物种有更高比例的专门昆虫以它们为食。我们认为，ANI真菌可以影响植物上的昆虫组合的组成，是迄今未被考虑的因素在昆虫专化的进化。
The majority of phytophagous insects eat very few plant species, yet the ecological and evolutionary forces that have driven such specialism are not entirely understood. The hypothesis that arbusculat mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can determine phytophagous insect specialism, through differential effects on insect growth, was tested using examples from the British flora. In the UN, plant families and species in the family Lamiaceae that are strongly mycorrhizal have higher proportions of specialist insects feeding on them than those that are weakly mycorrhizal. We suggest that ANI fungi can affect the composition of insect assemblages on plants and are a hitherto unconsidered factor in the evolution of insect specialism.
