Host Fidelity of the Pollinator Guilds of Silene dioica and Silene latifolia: Possible Consequences for Sympatric Host Race Differentiation of a Vectored Plant Disease.

2007-05-01

Abstract excerpt

Host fidelity can play an important role in sympatric host race formation of phytophagous insects by providing a mechanism for prezygotic reproductive isolation. Similarly, but less recognized, host fidelity of insects could provide a mechanism for maintaining host-specific differentiation among insect-vectored pathogens. We studied the transfer of fluorescent dye–mimicking spores of the pollinator-transmitt...
