(last updated on 2024/11/03)Abstract:
Larvae from two examined populations grow relatively faster and survive better when grown on their own primary host species than do larvae from the other population when grown on the same species. This pattern of specialization is not caused by differences in feeding behavior, but appears to be due to differences in digestive physiology. -from Author
