“…The performance of Brevicoryne brassicae was higher on greenhouse-grown plants of the same provenance than on plants of different provenance, but the home-versus-away contrast was not significant. The greenhouse experiment demonstrated significant differences among aphid populations, confirming the strong spatial genetic differentiation found in other studies on Brevicoryne (Cole and Lynn 1996;Ruiz-Montoya et al 2003).…”

Local adaptation and population differentiation of plants are well documented, but studies on interactions with natural enemies are rare. In particular, evidence for plant adaptation to the local biotic environment, such as herbivores remains poor. We used the black mustard Brassica nigra, an annual species of river valley and coastal habitats to (1) analyse population differentiation in plant traits and herbivory in a common garden experiment, (2) examine home versus away differences in a reciprocal transplant experiment and (3) test whether plants are adapted to local herbivores or vice versa under standard greenhouse conditions. In the common garden experiment, we found significant differentiation in plant traits, leaf damage and herbivore number among seven populations of B. nigra from France and Germany (distance 15-1,000 km). Differences were particularly strong among coastal and river valley populations and did not necessarily increase with geographical distance. A herbivore removal treatment did not change population differentiation when compared with the control allowing natural colonisation. The reciprocal transplant experiment at a scale of 15-30 km did not reveal local plant adaptation, whilst one dominant herbivore species (Meligethes aeneus) occurred in significantly higher numbers on local plants. A greenhouse experiment combining three aphid (Brevicoryne brassicae) and plant populations of the same provenance indicated herbivore adaptation to their local plants rather than plant adaptation, but overall contrasts between local and non-local combinations were not significant. The results suggest that herbivores may counteract local plant adaptation to other environmental factors. Our study has important implications for plant translocations in ecological restoration projects.

“…Host specialization has been reported in several aphid species ( Via, 1991;Sunnucks et al , 1997;Ruiz-Montoya et al , 2003 ), but there are no reported cases of strong host specialization in a M. persicae clone with the exception of M . persicae nicotianae on tobacco ( Blackman & Paterson, 1986;Blackman, 1987;Nikolakakis et al , 2003 ).…”

“…Host specialization can affect the natural distribution of aphid clones in a population because any genotypes that grow better on a particular plant will be found in a greater proportion on that plant. This has been found in other aphid species; for example, Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris) ( Via, 1991 ), Sitobion avenae sensu stricto (F.) ( Sunnucks et al , 1997;Lushai & Loxdale, 2002 ) and Brevicoryne brassicae (L.) ( Ruiz-Montoya et al , 2003 ). Another important factor in aphid ecology is temperature, which influences how an aphid continues its life cycle overwinter and how fast it can reproduce.…”

1 The population of peach-potato aphid Myzus persicae in Scotland is comprised almost entirely of long-term asexual clones. 2 Over a ten year period, M. persicae from Scottish fields and suction traps were analysed with six microsatellite markers. 3 Out of 1497 individuals analysed, 14 clones (denoted A -N) comprised over 98% of the collection. 4 Some clones were particularly abundant but most clones had a widespread distribution on all available plants. 5 Clones E and L had distinct features in their distributions as clone L was geographically totally restricted to the north east of Scotland and clone E showed a marked preference for brassica crops. 6 Clones E and L provide direct evidence of a role for local adaptations in the distribution of M. persicae clones.

“…microsatellite markers is a useful tool for genomic characterization of the soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura and the cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae (L.) from different geographic regions (Ruiz-Montoya et al, 2003;Michel et al, 2009;Jun et al, 2011). In addition, the genetic structure of populations of the Spirea aphid, Aphis spiraecola Patch on pear trees in 13 provinces in China has revealed high levels of genetic exchange facilitated by geography and climate (Cao et al, 2012).…”
