Selection on herbivore life-history traits by the first and third trophic levels: the devil and the deep blue sea revisited.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 11 Nov 2001

Lill J T

Abstract excerpt

The timing of life-history events in insects can have important consequences for both survival and reproduction. For insect herbivores with complex life histories, selection is predicted to favor those combinations of traits that increase the size at metamorphosis while minimizing the risk of mortality from natural enemies. Studies quantifying selection on life-history traits in natural insect herbivore...
