Ecological divergence despite common mating sites: genotypes and symbiotypes shed light on cryptic diversity in the black bean aphid species complex

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: This work is based on an extensive, temporally and geographically structured dataset of A. fabae samples collected from their primary host_plant E. europaeus. The authors show that despite a shared mating habitat, black bean aphids of the A. fabae complex can be assigned to at least six genetically distinct groups, which differ in their host associations and in the frequency of infection with facultative endosymbionts. The authors propose that cluster 3 might be either A. solanella or A. evonymi ( the authors found samples assigned to cluster 3 almost exclusively on E. europaeus), while cluster 5 might . . .
