Coevolution of color pattern and thermoregulatory behavior in polymorphic pygmy grasshoppers Tetrix undulata.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Feb 2002

Forsman Anders, Ringblom Karin, Civantos Emilio, Ahnesjö Jonas

Abstract excerpt

Ectothermic organisms, such as insects and reptiles, rely on external heat sources to control body temperature and possess physiological and behavioral traits that are temperature dependent. It has therefore been hypothesised that differences in body temperature resulting from phenotypic properties, such as color pattern, may translate into selection against thermally inferior phenotypes. We tested for costs and...
