Evolution in the genus Cryptocercus (Dictyoptera: Cryptocercidae): no evidence of differential adaptation to hosts or elevation
Nalepa CA. 2003. Evolution in the genus Cryptocercus (Dictyoptera: Cryptocercidae): no evidence of differential adaptation to hosts or elevation. Biological Journal of the Linnean Society. 80:223-233
It has been suggested, in a recent paper by Clark and Brock, that members of the wood-feeding cockroach genus Cryptocercus are differentially adapted to two features of the environment: host logs and elevation. A re-examination of the evidence, however, fails to support their hypothesis.
