Quantitative genetics of immunity and life history under different photoperiods.

Heredity - 1 May 2012

Hammerschmidt K, Deines P, Wilson A J, Rolff J

Abstract excerpt

Insects with complex life-cycles should optimize age and size at maturity during larval development. When inhabiting seasonal environments, organisms have limited reproductive periods and face fundamental decisions: individuals that reach maturity late in season have to either reproduce at a small size or increase their growth rates. Increasing growth rates is costly in insects because of higher juvenile...
