Local host adaptation and use of a novel host in the seed beetle Megacerus eulophus.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2013

Abstract excerpt

Spatial variation in host plant availability may lead to specialization in host use and local host adaptation in herbivorous insects, which may involve a cost in performance on other hosts. We studied two geographically separated populations of the seed beetle Megacerus eulophus (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) in central Chile: a population from the host Convolvulus chilensis (in Aucó) and a population from C....
