Genetic factors affecting food-plant specialization of an oligophagous seed predator.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jan 2013

Laukkanen L, Leimu R, Muola A, Lilley M, Mutikainen P

Abstract excerpt

Several ecological and genetic factors affect the diet specialization of insect herbivores. The evolution of specialization may be constrained by lack of genetic variation in herbivore performance on different food-plant species. By traditional view, trade-offs, that is, negative genetic correlations between the performance of the herbivores on different food-plant species favour the evolution of specialization....
