The genetic architecture of a niche: variation and covariation in host use traits in the Colorado potato beetle.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 May 2007

Forister M L, Ehmer A G, Futuyma D J

Abstract excerpt

The genetic basis of host plant use by phytophagous insects can provide insight into the evolution of ecological niches, especially phenomena such as specialization and phylogenetic conservatism. We carried out a quantitative genetic analysis of multiple host use traits, estimated on five species...
