Host plant adaptation in Drosophila mettleri populations.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Castrezana Sergio, Bono Jeremy M

Abstract excerpt

The process of local adaptation creates diversity among allopatric populations, and may eventually lead to speciation. Plant-feeding insect populations that specialize on different host species provide an excellent opportunity to evaluate the causes of ecological specialization and the subsequent consequences for diversity. In this study, we used geographically separated Drosophila mettleri populations that...
