Asymmetric life-history decision-making in butterfly larvae.

Oecologia - 1 Feb 2011

Friberg Magne, Aalberg Haugen Inger M, Dahlerus Josefin, Gotthard Karl, Wiklund Christer

Abstract excerpt

In temperate environments, insects appearing in several generations in the growth season typically have to decide during the larval period whether to develop into adulthood, or to postpone adult emergence until next season by entering a species-specific diapause stage. This decision is typically guided by environmental cues experienced during development. An early decision makes it possible to adjust growth rate,...
