Preference 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 کاملPlant Hybrid Zones and Insect Host Range Expansion
The hybrid bridge hypothesis suggests that plant hybrids ‘‘bridge’’ the genetic gap between actual and potential host species, and that, for this reason, herbivorous insects are more likely to evolve an expanded host range in the presence of hybrids. While intuitively appealing, the hypothesis has two implicit assumptions: that phenotypic gaps between potential hosts limit host range, and that ...
متن کاملHost Plant Preference of Mansonia Mosquitoes
Human brugian filariasis, which is caused by Brugia malayi and B. timori , affects 13 million people in the oriental region (WHO 2002) and is most common in India and China (Ottesen et al. 1997). The most important vectors of B. malayi , in the endemic countries of South-east Asia, are different Mansonia species in the subgenus Mansonioides . The vectors of the parasite causing brugian filarias...
متن کاملOvipositional Host Plant Preference of Sepia officinalis
The present study was undertaken to verify ancient data in the literature on ovipositional preference o f the cuttlefish Sepia officinalis for the terrestrial plant Pistacia lentiscus (mastic tree). Adult specimens o f Sepia were placed in basins together with aerial parts not only of P. lentiscus, but also o f Artemisia arborescens, Centaurea alba var. deusta, Quercus ilex and Laurus nobilis. ...
