The evolution of alternative developmental pathways: footprints of selection on life-history traits in a butterfly.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jul 2012

Aalberg Haugen I M, Berger D, Gotthard K

Abstract excerpt

Developmental pathways may evolve to optimize alternative phenotypes across environments. However, the maintenance of such adaptive plasticity under relaxed selection has received little study. We compare the expression of life-history traits across two developmental pathways in two populations of the butterfly Pararge aegeria where both populations express a diapause pathway but one never expresses direct...
