In their technical comment, Janz et al. take issue with our recent study examining the association between host breadth and diversification rates in the brush-footed butterflies (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) (Hamm and Fordyce 2015). Specifically, they are concerned that we misrepresent their "oscillation hypothesis" (OH) (Janz et al. 2006; Janz and Nylin 2008) and that one of our models was inadequate to test hypotheses regarding host breadth and diversification rate. Given our mutual interests in the macroevolutionary patterns of herbivorous insects, we appreciate the opportunity to respond to their concerns.
在他们的技术评论中，扬兹等人对我们最近一项关于弄蝶（鳞翅目：蛱蝶科）寄主广度与多样化速率之间关联的研究提出了异议（哈姆和福代斯，2015年）。具体而言，他们担心我们错误地表述了他们的“振荡假说”（OH）（扬兹等人，2006年；扬兹和尼林，2008年），并且担心我们的一个模型不足以检验关于寄主广度和多样化速率的假说。鉴于我们对食草昆虫宏观进化模式的共同兴趣，我们很高兴有机会回应他们的关切。
