Oligophagy

Oligophagy refers to the eating of only a few specific foods, and to monophagy when restricted to a single food source. The term is usually associated with insect dietary behaviour. Organisms may exhibit narrow or specific oligophagy where the diet is restricted to a very few foods or broad oligophagy where the organism feeds on a wide variety of specific foods but none other.

Examples
The diet of the yucca moths is restricted to the developing fruits of species of yucca These are both narrow oligophages. Conversely the migratory locust may be said to be broadly oligophagous or even polyphagous. ==Footnotes==
