Phenotypic plasticity and fitness in egg parasitoids.

Neotropical entomology - 1 Jan 2000

Boivin Guy

Abstract excerpt

Several proxies can be used to estimate the fitness of egg parasitoids: size, longevity, fecundity, mating ability and vagility. All these proxies are positively correlated with the lifetime fitness gain of an individual. However, the phenotypic plasticity, which is the ability of a genotype to p...
