Reproductive flexibility: genetic variation, genetic costs and long-term evolution in a collembola.

PloS one - 15 Sept 2008

Tully Thomas, Ferrière Régis

Abstract excerpt

In a variable yet predictable world, organisms may use environmental cues to make adaptive adjustments to their phenotype. Such phenotypic flexibility is expected commonly to evolve in life history traits, which are closely tied to Darwinian fitness. Yet adaptive life history flexibility remains poorly documented. Here we introduce the collembolan Folsomia candida, a soil-dweller, parthenogenetic (all-female)...
