[图书][B] Relentless evolution
JN Thompson - 2013 - books.google.com
At a glance, most species seem adapted to the environment in which they live. Yet species
relentlessly evolve, and populations within species evolve in different ways. Evolution, as it …

Plant responses to butterfly oviposition partly explain preference–performance relationships on different brassicaceous species
The preference–performance hypothesis (PPH) states that herbivorous female insects prefer
to oviposit on those host plants that are best for their offspring. Yet, past attempts to show the …

The evolutionary ecology of generalization: among‐year variation in host plant use and offspring survival in a butterfly
The majority of phytophagous insects are relatively specialized in their food habits, and
specialization in resource use is expected to be favored by selection in most scenarios …

Decoupling of female host plant preference and offspring performance in relative specialist and generalist butterflies
The preference-performance hypothesis posits that the host plant range of plant-feeding
insects is ultimately limited by larval costs associated with feeding on multiple resources …
