Differences in gene expression and genetic variation underlying preference-performance mismatches: insights

Summary

Abstract Specialist phytophagous insects have a narrow hostplant range for optimal development and survival. Mismatches between female oviposition preference and larval performance can lead to high fitness costs. Understanding the mechanistic basis of this decoupling can help us understand evolution
