Role of niche choice in rapid host adaptation of Colorado potato beetle (A06*)

Subject Area Evolution, Anthropology
Term since 2022
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 316099922
 
Project A06 will use an experimental evolution approach in combination with trait manipulation and computational modelling to investigate whether and how individualised niche choice affects the evolutionary process of host plant adaptation in Colorado potato beetles (Leptinotarsa decemlineata). This project will allow us to directly examine several long-standing theoretical predictions in niche concepts. The outcomes will help to refine the individualised niche choice concept.
