Pathogen invasion triggers an evolutionary trap for an endangered checkerspot butterfly dependent on an exotic host plant
2016-12-01
Abstract excerpt
Exotic pathogen invasions can change host eco-evolutionary interactions and possibly create an evolutionary trap when the pathogen generates mismatches between developmental phenology and reproductive cues. Taylor’s checkerspot butterfly (Euphydryas editha taylori), is an endangered species of western North America with 80 % of the extant populations dependent on an exotic host, Plantago lanceolata.
