Effects of population density on life history traits in a moth: in search for proximate and ultimate explanations

2025-06-18

Abstract excerpt

Population density often modifies the phenotypes of the members of the population. Such density-dependent phenotypic plasticity can affect basic life-history traits of the organisms. In insects, a frequently observed expression of such plasticity is the crowding response (CR), where individuals growing at high densities develop faster and attain smaller final sizes compared to those at low densities. This plastic...
