Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Herbivorous insects tolerate chemical and metabolic variation in their host plant diet by modulating physiological traits. Insect immune response is one such trait that plays a crucial role in maintaining fitness but can be heavily influenced by variation in host plant quality.

Mixed Outcomes in Recombination Rates After Domestication: Revisiting Theory and Data
Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The process of domestication has altered many phenotypes. Selection on these phenotypes has long been hypothesised to indirectly select for increases in the genome‐wide recombination rate. This hypothesis is potentially consistent with theory on the evolution of the recombination rate, but empirical support has been unclear. We review relevant

Assigning Phenologically Asynchronous Moths to Source Populations Using Individual Genotypes
Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana; SBW) is a periodically outbreaking forest insect pest that affects the boreal forests of North America through extensive defoliation and tree mortality. Causes of widespread spatial synchrony of SBW outbreaks remain a key question in the ecology and management of this species.

Genome Architecture and Speciation in Plants and Animals
Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT There have been numerous treatments of specific topics in speciation, but surprisingly few papers have compared patterns and processes of speciation across different organismal groups. In this review, we partially address this gap by asking how variation in genome architecture impacts speciation across the plant and animal kingdoms.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.The Common or Bird Louse Fly Ornithomya avicularia, a vector of Haemoproteus sp. and trypanosomes, has undergone a major northwards range expansion in the United Kingdom since the 1960s. The Finch Louse Fly Ornithomya fringillina has also expanded its range northwards and westwards, and the Swallow Louse Fly Ornithomya biloba is now established in ...
