Chemical defence in a sawfly: genetic components of variation in relevant life-history traits.

Heredity - 1 Jun 2003

Müller C, Zwaan B J, de Vos H, Brakefield P M

Abstract excerpt

Larvae of several tenthredinid sawfly species readily release droplets of haemolymph through their integument when attacked by predators. This defence mechanism via 'bleeding' is characterised by a low integument resistance and a high haemolymph deterrence. Both traits are variable, and negatively correlated among species. We sought to determine if such differences in the propensity to bleed also occur...
