Diversity and relatedness enhance survival in colour polymorphic grasshoppers.

PloS one - 28 May 2010

Caesar Sofia, Karlsson Magnus, Forsman Anders

Abstract excerpt

Evolutionary theory predicts that different resource utilization and behaviour by alternative phenotypes may reduce competition and enhance productivity and individual performance in polymorphic, as compared with monomorphic, groups of individuals. However, firm evidence that members of more heterogeneous groups benefit from enhanced survival has been scarce or lacking. Furthermore, benefits associated with...
