Natural Selection on Adults Has Trait-Dependent Consequences for Juvenile Evolution in Dragonflies.

The American naturalist - 1 Jun 2021

Moore Michael P, Martin Ryan A

Abstract excerpt

AbstractAlthough natural selection often fluctuates across ontogeny, it remains unclear what conditions enable selection in one life-cycle stage to shape evolution in others. Organisms that undergo metamorphosis are useful for addressing this topic because their highly specialized life-cycle stages cannot always evolve independently despite their dramatic life-history transition. Using a comparative study of...
