    Department of Biology, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY 14627, USA
    Heredity 104:270-7. 2010
    ..To our knowledge, this is the first introgression of the host preference of one parasitoid species into another, as well as one of the few cases of introgression of a behavioral gene between species...
