Maternal and paternal effects on offspring phenotype in the dung beetle Onthophagus taurus.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jun 2000

Hunt J, Simmons L W

Abstract excerpt

Parents often have important influences on the development of traits in their offspring. One mechanism by which parents are able to influence offspring phenotype is through the level of care they provide. In onthophagine dung beetles, parents typically provision their offspring by packing dung fragments into a brood mass. Onthophagus taurus males can be separated into two discrete morphs: Large, "major" males...
