Imagine you conducted a study similar to the one by Thompson and Cunningham (2002) in which you tested the mosaic theory of coevolution in the Greya moth/woodland star flower system

In your study, you obtained the results that are displayed in the map below. NW of the line, plants abort flow-ers with moth larvae; SE of the line, plants tolerate the moth larvae. A white location marker indicates sites where Greya moths are the only pollinators. A black population marker indicates cases where additional pol-linators are present. What conclusions would you draw? a. The different trajectories that coevolution has taken in different geographic regions supports the mosaic theory of coevolution. b. Only the populations SE of the line form a coevolutionary mosaic. c. Greya moths have the same effect on woodland star flowers throughout the range. d. Factors other than coevolution with Greya likely have shaped the evolution plant defenses in woodland star flowers.
