Host shift induces changes in mate choice of the seed predator Acanthoscelides obtectus via altered chemical signalling.
The mechanisms of host shift in phytophagous insects are poorly understood. Among the many proposed processes involved, sexual selection via semiochemicals has recently been suggested. This hypothesizes that sexual communication using pheromones is modified as a result of development on a new host,...
