Plant pathogen‐mediated rapid acclimation of a host‐specialized aphid to a non‐host plant
Abstract Polyphagous aphids often consist of host‐specialized lineages, which have greater fitness on their native hosts than on others. The underlying causes are important for understanding of the evolution of diet breadth and host shift of aphids. The cotton‐melon aphid Aphis gossypii Glover is ex...
