The genetic covariance between life cycle stages separated by metamorphosis.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Aug 2014

Aguirre J David, Blows Mark W, Marshall Dustin J

Abstract excerpt

Metamorphosis is common in animals, yet the genetic associations between life cycle stages are poorly understood. Given the radical changes that occur at metamorphosis, selection may differ before and after metamorphosis, and the extent that genetic associations between pre- and post-metamorphic traits constrain evolutionary change is a subject of considerable interest. In some instances, metamorphosis may allow...
