Fitness costs of thermal reaction norms for wing melanisation in the large white butterfly (Pieris brassicae).

PloS one - 1 Jan 2014

Chaput-Bardy Audrey, Ducatez Simon, Legrand Delphine, Baguette Michel

Abstract excerpt

The large white butterfly, Pieris brassicae, shows a seasonal polyphenism of wing melanisation, spring individuals being darker than summer individuals. This phenotypic plasticity is supposed to be an adaptive response for thermoregulation in natural populations. However, the variation in individuals' response, the cause of this variation (genetic, non genetic but inheritable or environmental) and its...
