Plant geographic phenotypic variation drives diversification in its associated community of a phytophagous insect and its parasitoids

Abstract Background While the communities constituted by phytophageous insects and their parasites may represent half of all terrestrial animal species, understanding their diversification remains a major challenge. A neglected idea is that geographic phenotypic variation in a host plant may lead to...
