چکیده
Introduction: Hybridization is recognized as an important factor of speciation within the plant kingdom and has been recorded extensively in numerous plant groups (2,3). Recently, ecologists have begun exploring the role of plant hybridization on the dynamics of plant-insect interactions by recording abundance and distribution of species, guilds, and communities of herbivores across hybrid zones (4-17). Results indicate that plant hybrid zones may support 1) higher (8,10,11,16,17) 2) intermediate (5,7,9-12,15) or 3) lower (6,7,11) levels of herbivory than either parental host plant or 4) herbivory levels equivalent to a single parental host plant (10,11,13). Particular phytophage response patterns, in addition, may vary between years (11). The relative frequencies of the above patterns across hybrid zones, however, are based on a limited number of studies, and mechanisms underlying phytophage response to hybrids remain obscured by varying methodologies (4). As a consequence, the implications of plant hybridization on the evolution of plant-insect interactions are generally underdeveloped.
