Eggs, enzymes, and evolution: natural genetic variants change insect fecundity.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 15 Nov 1992

Watt W B

Abstract excerpt

Phosphoglucose isomerase genotypes in the butterfly Colias differ dramatically in biochemical properties. These differences were evaluated earlier, using metabolic network theory, to predict, successfully, their effects on glycolytic metabolism and hence on Colias flight capacity and several consequent fitness components in the wild. Female egg-laying, not previously studied, also depends on flight, so female...
