Divergent host plant specialization as the critical driving force in speciation between populations of a phytophagous ladybird beetle.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jul 2011

Matsubayashi K W, Kahono S, Katakura H

Abstract excerpt

Detecting the isolating barrier that arises earliest in speciation is critically important to understanding the mechanism of species formation. We tested isolating barriers between host races of a phytophagous ladybird beetle, Henosepilachna diekei (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae: Epilachnine), that occur sympatrically on distinct host plants. We conducted field surveys for the distribution of the beetles and host...
