Ghali, D. Amptmeijer, T. Schwander] Many asexual animal populations comprise a mixture of genetically different lineages, but to what degree this genetic diversity leads to ecological differences remains often unknown. Here, we test whether genetically different clonal lineages of Aptinothrips grass thrips differ in performance on a range of plants used as hosts in natural populations. We find a clear clone-by-plant species interactive effect on reproductive output, meaning that clonal lineages perform differently on different plant species and thus are characterized by disparate ecological niches. This implies that local clonal diversities can be driven and maintained by frequency-dependent selection and that resource heterogeneity can generate diverse clone assemblies. van der Kooi C.J. aut Ghali K. aut Amptmeijer D. aut Schwander T. aut Journal of evolutionary biology 32/1(2019-01), 126-130 32:1<126-130 2019 32 1 article serval SERVAL 700 1- van der Kooi C.J. aut SERVAL 700 1- Ghali K. aut SERVAL 700 1- Amptmeijer D. aut SERVAL 700 1- Schwander T. aut SERVAL 773 0- Journal of evolutionary biology 32/1(2019-01), 126-130 32:1<126-130 2019 32 BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 SERVAL SERVAL SERVAL article
