Maple leaf beetles and willow leaf beetles are

named for the type of tree where they live and
reproduce. They look identical to each other
when observed, but experiments have shown
that willow beetles would starve before eating
maple leaves. This is an example of specialization
that would directly reduce
(1) variation (3) adaptation
(2) competition (4) replication
