Phenotypic plasticity in Heliconius erato (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) mandibles induced by different host plants (Passifloraceae).

This study aimed to test whether the consumption of different host plants influences the size and shape of mandibles and associated muscles in oligophagic insects throughout ontogeny.
