Fitness consequences of larval traits persist across the metamorphic boundary.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Nov 2011

Crean Angela J, Monro Keyne, Marshall Dustin J

Abstract excerpt

Metamorphosis is thought to provide an adaptive decoupling between traits specialized for each life-history stage in species with complex life cycles. However, an increasing number of studies are finding that larval traits can carry-over to influence postmetamorphic performance, suggesting that these life-history stages may not be free to evolve independently of each other. We used a phenotypic selection...
