This study concerns the relationships between the bruchid beetle Amblycerus robiniae and the honey locust tree Gleditsia triacanthos. Since Amblycerus concentrates specifically on Gleditsia, and on specific parts of this tree, it may influence plant density. Thus, such a phytophagous insect can effect and control the species composition and the structure of a plant community.
