What prolongs a butterfly's life?: Trade-offs between dormancy, fecundity and body size.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2014

Haeler Elena, Fiedler Konrad, Grill Andrea

Abstract excerpt

In butterflies, life span often increases only at the expense of fecundity. Prolonged life span, on the other hand, provides more opportunities for oviposition. Here, we studied the association between life span and summer dormancy in two closely related species of Palearctic Meadow Brown butterflies, the endemic Maniola nurag and the widespread M. jurtina, from two climatic provenances, a Mediterranean and a...
