Ample genetic variation but no evidence for genotype specificity in an all-parthenogenetic host-parasitoid interaction.
Antagonistic coevolution between hosts and parasites can result in negative frequency-dependent selection and may thus be an important mechanism maintaining genetic variation in populations. Negative frequency-dependence emerges readily if interactions between hosts and parasites are genotype-specific such that no host genotype is most resistant to all parasite genotypes, and no parasite genoty...
متن کاملLittle geographic or host plant genetic variation in a Chionochloa ( Poaceae ) seed predator ( Cecidomyiidae : undescribed species )
The grass genus Chionochloa in New Zealand exhibits a high degree of mast seeding synchronised across species and habitats. Masting appears to be maintained by a predator satiation mechanism involving three pre-dispersal seedand flower-feeding insects. It is not clear how important each of the three insects is in favouring the masting strategy. An undescribed cecidomyiid fly (Diptera: Cecidomyi...
متن کاملGenotypic variation and the role of defensive endosymbionts in an all-parthenogenetic host-parasitoid interaction.
Models of host-parasite coevolution predict pronounced genetic dynamics if resistance and infectivity are genotype-specific or associated with costs, and if selection is fueled by sufficient genetic variation. We addressed these assumptions in the black bean aphid, Aphis fabae, and its parasitoid Lysiphlebus fabarum. Parasitoid genotypes differed in infectivity and host clones exhibited huge va...
متن کاملPreference of Diamondback Moth Larvae for Novel and Original Host Plant after Host Range Expansion
Utilization of a novel plant host by herbivorous insects requires coordination of numerous physiological and behavioral adaptations in both larvae and adults. The recent host range expansion of the crucifer-specialist diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella L. (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), to the sugar pea crop in Kenya provides an opportunity to study this process in action. Previous studies...
متن کاملpopulation variation of a specialist versus a generalist aphid sharing the same host plant in field
aphids in unsprayed canola (brassica napus linnaeus) fields in isfahan province (central iran) were sampled for two growing seasons, 2011-2013. sampling unit was a whole plant and 20 plants were sampled weekly. in the laboratory, heat-extracting and sub-sampling techniques were used to estimate the density of aphids. to determine the relationship between population growth rate of the aphids and...
