Functional traits in red flour beetles: the dispersal phenotype is associated with leg length but not body size nor metabolic rate

2017-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Individuals vary in their ability to disperse. Much of this variation can be described by covarying phenotypic traits that are related to dispersal (constituting the ‘dispersal phenotype’ or ‘dispersal syndrome’), but the nature of the associations among these traits is not well understood. Unravelling the associations among traits that potentially constitute the dispersal phenotype provides a foundation for under...
