Genetic variation for parental effects on the propensity to gregarise in Locusta migratoria.

BMC evolutionary biology - 1 Feb 2008

Chapuis Marie-Pierre, Estoup Arnaud, Augé-Sabatier Arnaud, Foucart Antoine, Lecoq Michel, Michalakis Yannis

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Environmental parental effects can have important ecological and evolutionary consequences, yet little is known about genetic variation among populations in the plastic responses of offspring phenotypes to parental environmental conditions. This type of variation may lead to rapid phenotypic divergence among populations and facilitate speciation. With respect to density-dependent phenotypic...
