Correction to 'Population differences in olfaction accompany host shift in Drosophila mojavensis'.
Evolutionary shifts in plant-herbivore interactions provide a model for understanding the link among the evolution of behaviour, ecological specialization and incipient speciation. Drosophila mojavensis uses different host cacti across its range, and volatile chemicals emitted by the host are the primary cue for host plant identification. In this study, we show that changes in host plant use be...
متن کاملDivergence in Olfactory Host Plant Preference in D. mojavensis in Response to Cactus Host Use
Divergence in host adaptive traits has been well studied from an ecological and evolutionary perspective, but identification of the proximate mechanisms underlying such divergence is less well understood. Behavioral preferences for host plants are often mediated by olfaction and shifts in preference may be accompanied by changes in the olfactory system. In this study, we examine the evolution o...

Panels A and B in Supplementary Figure S1 are switched. The panel labels are not switched. Please see a corrected version of Supplementary Figure S1 below. Figure S1 Analysis of host plant volatile composition with cactus rot stage. Cacti were either uninoculated (NI) or inoculated and fermented for one to nine weeks. Peak numbers correspond to the list of volatiles. (A–D) Typical gas chromato-...
متن کاملOlfaction in vector-host interactions
This chapter reviews the current understanding of odour-mediated host-seeking behaviour in mosquitoes based on laboratory (indoor) studies. Most recent studies have focused on Aedes aegypti L., Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto Giles and Culex quinquefasciatus Say, as these species are all strongly associated with human biting and disease transmission. Where relevant, reference to other mosquito ...
متن کاملSubstrate-preference polymorphism at an esterase locus of Drosophila mojavensis.
In a larval esterase of Drosophila mojavensis there are alleles whose products preferentially hydrolyze alpha-naphthyl esters, whereas the majority of the alleles hydrolyze preferentially beta-naphthyl esters. In a collection of laboratory stocks alpha alleles have a frequency of 15%. Three different mobilities of alpha alleles were discovered, suggesting a polymorphism rather than a single mut...
