Resistance of hybrid plants and animals to herbivores, pathogens, and parasites

RS Fritz, C Moulia, G Newcombe - Annual review of ecology …, 1999 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Interspecific hybridization can disrupt normal resistance of plant and animal
species to their parasites. Resistance to parasites is affected by hybridization in the following …

Community and ecosystem genetics: a consequence of the extended phenotype

TG Whitham, WP Young, GD Martinsen, CA Gehring… - Ecology, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
We present evidence that the heritable genetic variation within individual species, especially
dominant and keystone species, has community and ecosystem consequences. These …

The effects of clonal forestry on genetic diversity in wild and domesticated stands of forest trees

PK Ingvarsson, H Dahlberg - Scandinavian Journal of Forest …, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
The level of genetic diversity maintained in a population is determined by the combined
action of mutation, gene flow, genetic drift and selection. Forest tree breeding is a relatively …

Are gall midge species (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) host-plant specialists?

MAA Carneiro, CSA Branco, CED Braga… - Revista Brasileira de …, 2009 - SciELO Brasil
Despite the speciose fauna of gall-inducing insects in the Neotropical region, little is known
about their taxonomy. On the other hand, gall morphotypes associated with host species …

Interspecific hybridization of plants and resistance to herbivores: hypotheses, genetics, and variable responses in a diverse herbivore community

RS Fritz, CM Nichols-Orians, SJ Brunsfeld - Oecologia, 1994 - Springer
We studied the morphology, molecular genetics, and hebivory of two species of willows
(Salix sericea and S. eriocephala) and their interspecific hybrids to test four alternative …

Plant genetics affects arthropod community richness and composition: evidence from a synthetic eucalypt hybrid population

HS Dungey, BM Potts, TG Whitham, HF Li - Evolution, 2000 - Wiley Online Library
To examine how genetic variation in a plant population affects arthropod community
richness and composition, we quantified the arthropod communities on a synthetic …

Plant hybrid zones affect biodiversity: tools for a genetic‐based understanding of community structure

TG Whitham, GD Martinsen, P Keim, KD Floate… - Ecology, 1999 - Wiley Online Library
Plant hybrid zones are dynamic centers of ecological and evolutionary processes for plants
and their associated communities. Studies in the wild and in gardens with synthetic crosses …

Plant hybrid zones as centers of biodiversity: the herbivore community of two endemic Tasmanian eucalypts

TG Whitham, PA Morrow, BM Potts - Oecologia, 1994 - Springer
We found the hybrid zone between Eucalyptus amygdalina and Eucalyptus risdonii to be a
center of insect and fungal species richness and abundance. Of 40 taxa examined, 73 …

A genetic similarity rule determines arthropod community structure

RK Bangert, RJ Turek, B Rehill, GM Wimp… - Molecular …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
We define a genetic similarity rule that predicts how genetic variation in a dominant plant
affects the structure of an arthropod community. This rule applies to hybridizing cottonwood …
