Phenotypic plasticity and variation in morphological and life-history traits of antlion adults across a climatic gradient.

Zoology (Jena, Germany) - 1 Jan 2009

Abstract excerpt

We report here on two complementary experiments examining the effect of climate on morphological and life-history traits of antlion adults. We first examined whether body size and wing loading of emerging adults are plastic by raising larvae, collected from five antlion populations along Israel's sharp climatic gradient, in two environmental chambers simulating temperature and humidity of desert and Mediterranean...
