Variation in resistance to parasitism in aphids is due to symbionts not host genotype.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 6 Sept 2005

Oliver Kerry M, Moran Nancy A, Hunter Martha S

Abstract excerpt

Natural enemies are important ecological and evolutionary forces, and heritable variation in resistance to enemies is a prerequisite for adaptive responses of populations. Such variation in resistance has been previously documented for pea aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum) attacked by the parasitoid wasp Aphidius ervi. Although the variation was presumed to reflect genotypic differences among the aphids, another...
