- ... Prior theoretical studies have analyzed host-associated factors restricting gene flow between phytophagous insect species, and simulated evolutionary changes in components of fitness contributing to the adaptation of species to distinct host plants. However, there is relatively little empirical information on these topics. In this paper we report data on two host-associated sibling species of teph ...
