Conservatism of host specificity in parasites
As information becomes available for many groups of organisms a general pattern of phylogenetic conservatism in ecological characters or morphological traits is now widely recognized. Conversely, conservatism of external ecological attributes throughout a lineage is still a contentious theme in ecology. Moreover, the studies exploring this topic have focused on free-living organisms, and have i...
متن کاملHost plant specialization governed by facultative symbiont.
Materials and methods Samples of A. pisum were collected from natural populations on vetch or white clover, preserved in acetone, and subjected to DNA extraction individually. At each locality, 20 aphids were subjected to specific PCR detection of the endosymbionts as described (S1). The aphid strain TUt, naturally infected with PAUS, was derived from a parthenogenetic female collected on white...
متن کاملHost plant specialization driven by sexual selection.
We propose a new mechanism based on sexual selection to explain the evolution of diet breadth in insects. More specifically, we show that mate choice in females for certain diet-derived male pheromones can be exploited by maternal effect genes that preferentially place offspring on a specific host plant, resulting in specialization. Our analytical model also suggests that the process is more li...
متن کاملP-77: HOST Patterns and Sperm Quality
Background: Following the expansion of human infertility, different procedures have been utilized for separation of normal sperm during ICSI (Intra cytoplasmic sperm injection). Hypo-osmotic swelling test (HOST) is one of the tests which have been introduced for assessment of integrity of sperm membrane when confronted with hypo osmotic condition. This test may also reflect intracellular organe...
متن کاملHost conservatism, host shifts and diversification across three trophic levels in two Neotropical forests.
Host-parasite systems have been models for understanding the connection between shifts in resource use and diversification. Despite theoretical expectations, ambiguity remains regarding the frequency and importance of host switches as drivers of speciation in herbivorous insects and their parasitoids. We examine phylogenetic patterns with multiple genetic markers across three trophic levels usi...
