Revisiting the evolution of ecological specialization, with emphasis on insect-plant interactions.

Ecology - 1 May 2012

Forister M L, Dyer L A, Singer M S, Stireman J O, Lill J T

Abstract excerpt

Ecological specialization is a fundamental and well-studied concept, yet its great reach and complexity limit current understanding in important ways. More than 20 years after the publication of D. J. Futuyma and G. Moreno's oft-cited, major review of the topic, we synthesize new developments in the evolution of ecological specialization. Using insect-plant interactions as a model, we focus on important...
