Genetic and environmental sources of egg size variation in the butterfly Bicyclus anynana.

Heredity - 1 Mar 2004

Fischer K, Bot A N M, Zwaan B J, Brakefield P M

Abstract excerpt

By dividing families of the tropical butterfly, Bicyclus anynana, among different larval (including early pupal) and adult (including late pupal) temperatures, we investigate the genetic and environmental effects on egg size. Both sources of variation affected egg size to similar extents. As prev...
