Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Papilio machaon larvae showed local monophagy at each of eight Swedish sites, using a single host plant per locality.
- Observation Allozyme analysis showed a relatively low level of population structuring in Papilio machaon.
- Observation Females from all sites had similar oviposition preference rankings of the five host plants.
- Mechanism Local monophagy in Papilio machaon is probably implemented by a preference ranking of plants in accordance with larval performance.
