    Abstract:
    Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) is a globally distributed pathogen of grasses that is transmitted by aphids. Little research has been done examining the response of aphids to different host grasses in naturally mixed communities. We measured the short-term fecundity of the aphid Rhopalosiphum padi, a widely distributed vector of...
