Evolution and the latitudinal diversity gradient: speciation, extinction and biogeography. (2007, background): “Phytophagous insects might provide an interesting system for further study, as Berlocher & Feder (2002) suggest that sympatric speciation may play an important role in generating the extraordinary diversity of this group.”
Host shifts and signal divergence: mating signals covary with host use in a complex of specialized plant‐feeding insects (2009, background): “After a host shift, ecological factors promote reproductive isolation between populations on ancestral and novel hosts (Tauber & Tauber, 1989; Wood, 1993; Berlocher & Feder, 2002; Funk et al., 2002).”
REPRODUCTIVE ISOLATION CAUSED BY NATURAL SELECTION AGAINST IMMIGRANTS FROM DIVERGENT HABITATS (2005, methodology): “…has specifically focused on demonstrating the consequences of ecological population divergence for mating time (temporal isolation) and place (habitat isolation) and for hybrid inviability (Arnold 1997; Schluter 2000; Berlocher and Feder 2002; Drès and Mallet 2002; Funk et al. 2002; Rundle 2002).”
Ecological speciation in phytophagous insects (2010, methodology): “…reviews of how to test for ecological speciation, and the conceptual origin of ideas regarding divergent host adaptation and insect speciation, we refer readers to past reviews (Funk, 1998; Berlocher & Feder, 2002; Drés & Mallet, 2002; Funk et al., 2002, 2006; Funk & Nosil, 2008; Jiggins, 2008).”
Plant resistance towards insect herbivores: a dynamic interaction. (2002, background): “It is this adaptation to specific host species which has been hypothesised to drive species divergence in phytophagous insects, and although experimental evidence for such a process has been lacking, an emerging consensus is in support of the concept (Berlocher & Feder, 2002).”
SYSTEMATIC STUDIES ON SAWFLIES OF THE GENERA DOLERUS, EMPRIA, AND CALIROA (HYMENOPTERA: TENTHREDINIDAE) (2004, background): “…biodiversity pattern, the extraordinary richness of insect species, may be a result of sympatric speciation and that the insect phytophags and parasitoids are immensely diverse because sympatric speciation plays a particularly significant role (e.g. Bush & Smith, 1997; Berlocher & Feder, 2002).”
Underappreciated Consequences of Phenotypic Plasticity for Ecological Speciation (2012, background): “In many phytophagous insects, mating occurs on or near the host plant [102, 105], making plant choice a “magic trait” simultaneously effecting ecological and sexual differentiation [31].”
Can biotic interactions cause allopatry? Niche models, competition, and distributions of South American mouse opossums (2014, background): “…agree that the origin of independent lineages under geographic isolation ( allopatry) constitutes the prevalent mode of animal speciation (Salomon 2001, Gavrilets 2003, Coyne and Orr 2004, de Queiroz 2007, Sobel et al. 2009, but see Berlocher and Feder 2002, Fitzpatrick and Turelli 2006).”
Selection of non-target species for host specificity testing of entomophagous biological control agents. (2005, background): “While to our knowledge no recent example is available for insect parasitoids, some herbivorous insects like tephritid fruit flies that attack fruits of their host plants provide a well known example for an evolutionary host race formation in ecological time dimensions (Berlocher and Feder 2002).”
Oviposition preference and larval performance within a diverging lineage of lycaenid butterflies (2004, background): “For evolutionary biologists, the preference–performance correlation is the cornerstone of a large number of verbal and mathematical models of host-associated, sympatric speciation (Johnson & Gullberg, 1998; Berlocher & Feder, 2002; Drès & Mallet, 2002).”
Plant volatiles mediate attraction to host and non‐host plant in apple fruit moth, Argyresthia conjugella (2006, background): “Such host shifts are, at least in part, because of changes in the behavioural recognition of host-specific chemicals (Tauber & Tauber, 1989; Bernays, 2001; Via, 2001; Berlocher & Feder, 2002).”
