Behavioral evolution accompanying host shifts in cactophilic Drosophila larvae

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 8, Issue 14, Page 6921-6931, July 2018., 2018
For insects living on plants, the shape and size of the plant should encompass its foraging environment and therefore affect behavior. Here, we show variation in locomotor and pupation behavior within and between species of cactophilic Drosophila that is related to the shape of the cactus they inhabit. Abstract For plant utilizing insects, the shift to

Pollen morphology of Pachycereus weberi (Cactaceae): an evaluation of variation in pollen size

Plant Systematics and Evolution, 2012
Pollen morphology within a single plant species has been regarded as a relatively constant trait; it has, thus, been used as a taxonomic character. Numerous palynological studies have described the morphology of pollen from Cactaceae and from other families of plants.

Geographic variation in the breeding system and the evolutionary stability of trioecy in Pachycereus pringlei (Cactaceae)

Evolutionary Ecology, 1998
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) The Sonoran Desert columnar cactus Pachycereus pringlei has a geographically variable, non-hermaphroditic breeding system. It is trioecious (separate males, females and hermaphrodites) in the northern two-thirds of its range in Sonora, Mexico, and in the southern three-quarters of its range in Baja ...
