Host preference and host performance was then compared between females of different colours.
Specific epithet refers to the host preference (Pinus).
Offspring sex ratios of E. nassaui were independent of host preference.
Hyphoderma pinicola constitutes the third species in this small clade, possessing distinctive features in morphology, host preference, and distribution.
Information on host preference and feeding behaviours are crucial for a better understanding of vector host interactions and disease epidemiology.
Host preference in isolates from cyst and root-knot nematodes was reported by Mauchline et al. (2004) and Manzanilla-Lopez et al. (2011).
Although the four Monilinia brown rot fungi exhibit host preference, all are able to infect and cause severe damage in various members of the Rosaceae family.
In the SARS genome, the S gene is sandwiched between PP1ab on one side and M and N on the other, and determines the virus's host preference.
Finally, estimating innate host preference offers additional benefits to epidemiological studies of vector-host interactions.
We further investigated the effects of host stages on host preference and performance of S. harmandi.
Since host performance did not evolve alongside host preference, no fitness consequences seem to have resulted from the selection.
