How many generations does it take for phytophages to colonize invasive plants? Mathematical modeling predictions [PDF]
Кавказский энтомологический бюллетеньNative phytophagous insects are often not adapted to novel chemistry of invasive plants, but over time they begin to adapt and feed on them. We simulated the spread of a mutant allele that enables phytophages to feed on invasive plant as efectively as on
