- Abstract
The article titled "Guidelines for conducting, analyzing, and interpreting electrical penetration graph (EPG) experiments on herbivorous piercing‐sucking insects" by G. P. Walker, A. Fereres, and W. F. Tjallingii provides guidelines for conducting and analyzing EPG experiments, which are instrumental in studying insect-plant interactions. EPGs are graphical waveforms that provide detailed information on the activity of piercing-sucking insects, such as aphids, and the plant tissue they penetrate. The authors, who are experienced in this technique, review the current state-of-the-art and offer valuable insights based on their personal experience. EPGs have been a significant tool in experimental entomology for over half a century and will continue to be important in understanding insect-plant interactions.
