2014 journal article
Within-population variability in a moth sex pheromone blend: genetic basis and behavioural consequences
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 281(1779), 20133054.
author keywords: Lepidoptera; Heliothis virescens; quantitative trait locus analysis; delta-11-desaturase; balancing selection; heterozygote advantage
MeSH headings : Animals; Genetic Variation; Inbreeding; Insect Proteins / genetics; Insect Proteins / metabolism; Moths / genetics; Moths / metabolism; Moths / physiology; Phenotype; Quantitative Trait Loci; Sex Attractants / chemistry; Sex Attractants / genetics; Sexual Behavior, Animal
TL;DR:
A model in which the QTL is a trans-acting repressor of delta-11 desaturase expression explains many features of the data, and selection favouring heterozygotes which produce more unsaturated components could maintain a polymorphism at this locus.

2013 journal article
One quantitative trait locus for intra‐ and interspecific variation in a sex pheromone
Molecular Ecology, 22(4), 1065–1080.
author keywords: acetate; acyltransferase; evolution; moth; premating isolation; RAD tagging
MeSH headings : Acetates / chemistry; Acetyltransferases / genetics; Animals; Female; Genes, Insect; Genetic Variation; Genetics, Population; Male; Mexico; Moths / genetics; North Carolina; Phenotype; Quantitative Trait Loci; Reproductive Isolation; Sex Attractants / chemistry; Sex Attractants / genetics; Transcription Factors / genetics
TL;DR:
Finding a single, large QTL that impacts variation in pheromone blends between and within species is the first such example for traits that have been demonstrated to affect premating isolation, and it is currently hypothesize that a transcription factor underlies this QTL.

2011 journal article
Genetic differentiation across North America in the generalist moth Heliothis virescens and the specialist H. subflexa
Molecular Ecology, 20(13), 2676–2692.
author keywords: host plant distribution; metapopulation; population structure; structurama
MeSH headings : Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism Analysis; Analysis of Variance; Animals; Bayes Theorem; Biological Evolution; DNA / genetics; Feeding Behavior / physiology; Female; Genetic Drift; Genetic Variation / genetics; Genetics, Population; Genotype; Host-Parasite Interactions / genetics; Larva / genetics; Larva / physiology; Male; Moths / classification; Moths / genetics; Moths / physiology; North America; Phenotype; Plants / parasitology; Population Dynamics; Species Specificity
TL;DR:
The finding that the specialist shows more population differentiation than the generalist corroborates the notion that host specialization is not an evolutionary dead end but a dynamic trait.

2010 journal article
Variation in Sexual Communication of the Tobacco Budworm, Heliothis virescens
SOUTHWESTERN ENTOMOLOGIST, 35(3), 367–372.
TL;DR:
Results show that variation in Z9–14:Ald but not 16:A Ald is evolutionary significant and likely subject to stabilizing selection in the field.

2009 review
GEOGRAPHIC AND TEMPORAL VARIATION IN MOTH CHEMICAL COMMUNICATION
[Review of ]. EVOLUTION, 63(8), 1987–2003.
Contributors: A. Groot n, n, S. Bowdridge n, R. Santangelo n, C. Blanco *, J. Lopez *, A. Vargas*, F. Gould n , C. Schal n
author keywords: Experience; female sex pheromone; Heliothis subflexa; Heliothis virescens; male response; phenotypic plasticity; selection
MeSH headings : Animal Communication; Animals; Female; Male; Mexico; Moths / chemistry; Moths / metabolism; Sex Attractants / chemistry; Sex Attractants / metabolism; United States
TL;DR:
The pattern of temporal variation within populations suggests that optimization of the pheromonal signal also may be driven by within-generation physiological adjustments by the moths in response to their experience of the local chemical environment.
