The apple host race (or biotype) of the Rhagoletis pomonella fruit flies evolved after non-native apples were colonized by individuals of R. pomonella's hawthorn race (hawthorn is the original native host of R. pomo-nella).
 
  If the two host races should become two different species over time, would this case represent an example for cospeciation? Briefly justify your answer.
 
  What will be an ideal response?
