Abstract excerpt
Few studies have investigated the roles that plant hybridization and individual plant genotype play in promoting population divergence within arthropod species. Using nrDNA sequence information and reciprocal transfer experiments, we examined how tree cross type (i.e., pure Populus angustifolia and P. angustifolia x P. fremontii F(1) type hybrids) and individual tree genotype influence host race formation in the...
