Reproductive interference (costly interspecific sexual interactions) is well‐understood to
promote divergence in mating‐relevant traits (ie reproductive character displacement: RCD) …

The study of insect populations is dominated by research on terrestrial insects. Are aquatic
insect populations different or are they just presumed to be different? We explore the …

One major goal of ecological research is to explain exclusive patterns in, for example,
distribution (eg, Andrews et al. 1982; Cavender-Bares et al. 2006; Alexandrou et al. 2011) …

Maladaptive hybridization selects for prezygotic isolation, a process known as
reinforcement. Reinforcement reduces gene flow and contributes to the final stage of …

Host specialization among closely related herbivores is common and is therefore a major
theme in ecology. Despite its ecological importance, no general explanatory framework for …

Reproductive interference is interspecific sexual interactions that are costly to at least one
species involved. Although many studies have reported a substantial fitness cost associated …

The range and quality of prey species differ greatly among closely related species of
predators. However, the factors responsible for this diversified niche utilization are unclear …

The relevance of interspecific resource competition in the context of community assembly by
herbivorous insects is a well-known topic in ecology. Most previous studies focused on local …

1. Often, closely related insect species feed on different host plant species, and the
tremendous diversity of phytophagous insects is therefore attributed to host plant‐driven …

Abstract Perina nuda (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) is a serious pest of banyan trees (Ficus
spp.), which is distributed in South China, but little is known about the host preference on the …
