Trade‐offs between direct and indirect defences of lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) (2008, background): “Pleiotropy (a single gene affecting multiple phenotypic traits) is often used to explain trade-offs between different traits (Williams 1957; Joshi & Thompson 1995) and would become obvious by a complete lack of ontogenetic variability in the relationships among the traits in question.”
The tri-trophic niche concept and adaptive radiation of phytophagous insects (2005, background): “It predicts the phenotypic divergence of different specialized host-plant races (occupying different niches) and their eventual genetic divergence (Rausher 1988; Jaenike 1990; Joshi & Thompson 1995; Funk 1998; Hawthorne & Via 2001; Fry 2003).”
Fish and mussels: Importance of fish for freshwater mussel conservation (2018, background): “Some individuals of specialist populations can be genetically less host specific, being even capable of surviving in alternative hosts (Dunn et al., 2009; Joshi & Thompson, 1995; Rausher, 1984).”
