Evolution of host fange in aphids

KINDLMANN P., DIXON A.F.G.
N/A

A simple model reveals one possible explanation of why aphids and organisms with a similar bionomy, i.e., have a high rate of population increase, a short adult life, and are time - limited dispersers, are so highly host specific. It indicates that small differences in host suitability amplified by the high rate of population increase over a number of generations could compensate for the losses incurred in searching for the best host plant.

Keywords: Aphids, host specificity
