Polyphagy, flightlessness, and reproductive output of females: a case study with bagworms (Lepidoptera: Psychidae)

2008-10-01

Abstract excerpt

1. We evaluated the relation between plant-mediated larval traits and the fitness of female bagworms, Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis Haworth (Lepidoptera: Psychidae) by sampling 29 populations of bagworms on five plant genera (Thuja, Pinus, Picea, Juniperus, and Gleditsia). 2. Compared with those on other genera of plants, female larvae on Thuja attained a larger size at pupation and developed faster. The superior...
