CUTTING EDGE INNOVATION: DISSECTING THE GENETIC BASIS OF A PLANT-PIERCING OVIPOSITOR IN AN HERBIVOROUS FLY
The evolution of herbivory within an insect lineage is often enabled by novel morphological innovations. The ancestor of Scaptomyza flava developed a serrated ovipositor nearly six million years ago, associated with an evolutionary transition to herbivory, that allows these flies to cut into must...
