Use of Host-Plant Trait Space by Phytophagous Insects during Host-Associated Differentiation: The Gape-and-Pinch Model

Figure 1

Possible patterns of host trait-space use by herbivorous insects. Available host-plant individuals form a cloud in trait space (which is likely multidimensional, but summarized here by the first two principal component axes). Open circles denote unattacked plants, and filled circles attacked ones.
