Abstract
hostplant biology. Here we examine host utilization of the chrysomelid beetle Oreinaelongata that shows interpopulation variation in the degree of specialization. We focuson larval behaviour and on what selection pressures may favour the use of two differentlarval host plants (Adenostyles alliariae and Cirsium spinosissimum) in one populationas opposed to specialization onto one of them as is seen in other populations. Theresults suggest that...
