THE GENETIC ARCHITECTURE OF A COMPLEX ECOLOGICAL TRAIT: HOST PLANT USE IN THE SPECIALIST MOTH, HELIOTHIS SUBFLEXA

EVOLUTION, 66(11), 3336–3351.

By: S. Oppenheim n, F. Gould n  & K. Hopper *

author keywords: Complex phenotypes; ecological genetics; ecologically adaptive traits; herbivore host range; plant-insect interactions
MeSH headings : Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism Analysis; Animals; Chromosome Mapping; Feeding Behavior; Female; Food Chain; Genetic Linkage; Genetic Markers; Hybridization, Genetic; Larva / genetics; Larva / physiology; Male; Moths / genetics; Moths / physiology; Phenotype; Physalis; Quantitative Trait, Heritable
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that behavioral changes may have paved the way for physiological adaptation to Physalis by the generalist ancestor of H. subflexa and H. virescens, and different chromosomes could produce similar phenotypes, suggesting that the same trait might be controlled by different chromosomes in different backcross populations.

Behavioral adaptations increase the value of enemy-free space for Heliothis subflexa, a specialist herbivore.

Evolution, 56(4), 679–689.

By: S. Oppenheim n & F. Gould n 

MeSH headings : Animals; Behavior, Animal; Biological Evolution; Diet; Feeding Behavior; Gossypium; Hymenoptera / physiology; Larva / physiology; Moths / physiology; Physalis; Tobacco
TL;DR: It is found that specialized host‐use and host‐acceptance behaviors are integral to the use of enemy‐free space on Physalis and strongly augment the effects of the structural refuge. (via Semantic Scholar)

Taste sensitivity of insect herbivores to deterrents is greater in specialists than in generalists: A behavioral test of the hypothesis with two closely related caterpillars

JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL ECOLOGY, 26(2), 547–563.

By: E. Bernays*, S. Oppenheim n, R. Chapman*, H. Kwon* & F. Gould n 

author keywords: Heliothis virescens; Heliothis subflexa; caterpillar; diet breadth; deterrent compound; feeding behavior; postingestive toxicity; plant secondary metabolite
TL;DR: The hypothesis that specialists have greater sensitivity to deterrents than generalists was supported and the contrast between the species is discussed in relation to tradeoffs involved in different diet breadths. (via Semantic Scholar)
