Sexually transmitted parasites and sexual selection in the milkweed leaf beetle, Labidomera clivicollis

P Abbot, LM Dill - Oikos, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
Milkweed leaf beetles (MLBs; Labidomera clivicollis Chrysomelidae) are parasitized by a
subelytral mite, Chrysomelobia labidomerae (Tarsonemina: Podapolipidae). We show that …
