The evolution of host use and unusual reproductive strategies in Achrysocharoides parasitoid wasps.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jul 2005

Lopez-Vaamonde C, Godfray H C J, West S A, Hansson C, Cook J M

Abstract excerpt

We studied host selection and exploitation, two crucial aspects of parasite ecology, in Achrysocharoides parasitoid wasps, which show remarkable host specificity and unusual offspring sex allocation. We estimated a molecular phylogeny of 15 Achrysocharoides species and compared this with host (plant and insect) phylogenies. This tri-trophic phylogenetic comparison provides no evidence for cospeciation, but...
