Abstract excerpt
Phytophagous insects frequently use multiple host-plant species leading to the evolution of specialized host-adapted populations and sometimes eventually to speciation. Some insects are confronted with a large number of host-plant species, which may provide complex routes of gene flow between host-adapted populations. The pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum) attacks a broad range of plants in the Fabaceae and it is...
