No evidence for condition-dependent expression of male genitalia in the dung beetle Onthophagus taurus.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jul 2007

House C M, Simmons L W

Abstract excerpt

We examine the condition-dependence of male genitalia in the dung beetle Onthophagus taurus by manipulating the quality of dung provided for larval growth and development. We show that the influence of larval nutrition differed considerably across three different trait classes (sexual, nonsexual and genital). The size of all nonsexual traits varied with dung quality but their allometric slopes remained unchanged....
