At the moment I am working on relationship between leaf anatomy/ phloem structure ( distance to phloem, thickness of phloem fiber layer and etc) on feeding of the leaf hoppers. If you have any experience on this regard please share.

I could share the full-text of the last paper privately if you need (though it does not deal with leafhoppes specifically).
Dear sir,

Please share your paper if it is possible. It will be much great full.
I think it can be linked with number of stomata and size of stomata as wll!
