Patterns of host use have been a central topic in phytophagous insect research. In this study a first assessment is provided to test the hypothesis that host-plant association is phylogenetically conserved in Western Palaearctic <i>Longitarsus</i> species. Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference methods were us ...[more]
