Abstract excerpt
We tested, using the sawfly Priophorus pallipes feeding on leaves of mountain birch, whether the expression of genetic (co)variation of larval development time and body size can be altered by exposing larvae to diets with differential seasonal changes in quality. In nature, larvae feed mainly on mature leaves, but occasionally they are forced to consume senescing leaves. Sixty families were assayed on three...
