The effect of host plant and isolation on the genetic structure of phytophagous insects: A preliminary study on a bruchid beetle

Genetic differentiation is a consequence of the combination of drift and restriction in gene flow between populations due to barriers to dispersal, or selection against individuals resulting from inter-population matings. In phytophagous insects, local adaptation to different kinds of host plants ca...
