Conflicting processes in the evolution of body size and development time.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 27 Feb 2010

Nijhout H Frederik, Roff Derek A, Davidowitz Goggy

Abstract excerpt

Body size and development time of Manduca sexta are both determined by the same set of three developmental-physiological factors. These define a parameter space within which it is possible to analyse and explain how phenotypic change is associated with changes in the underlying factors. Body size and development time are determined by the identical set of underlying factors, so they are not independent, but...
