Genetic and phenotypic variation in juvenile development in relation to temperature and developmental pathway in a geometrid moth.

Abstract excerpt

Life histories show genetic population-level variation due to spatial variation in selection pressures. Phenotypic plasticity in life histories is also common, facilitating fine-tuning of the phenotype in relation to the prevailing selection regime. In multivoltine (≥ 2 generations per year) insects, individuals following alternative developmental pathways (diapause/direct development) experience different...
