Spread your wings: insect–plant–landscape interactions mediate the wing shape of a multivoltine polyphagous insect

Wing morphology may affect the foraging efficiency of polyphagous insects via effects on their flight ability. Variations in wing morphology may be triggered by host plant quality, while landscape composition can also play a role in filtering the ability of variants to colonize new habitats. We investigated how intraspecific variations in wing morphology in a polyphagous insect are mediated by the quality of local resources and the role of the landscape in filtering these variations. We used Bemisia tabaci MEAM-1 (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) as a model since the existence of morphotypes that engage in long- and short-distance flights has been proposed previously.This dataset refers to the geometric morphometric analysis of whitefly fore and hind wings. The dataset also contains landscape metrics from the farms where these insects were collected.
