Experimental manipulation reveals differential effects of colour pattern on survival in male and female pygmy grasshoppers
There are ample data to suggest that colour pattern contributes to individual variation in susceptibility to visually orientated predators (e.g. Isley, 1938; Cott, 1940; Kettlewell, 1973; Brodie, 1992; Endler, 1991, 1995; GoÈ tmark, 1994; Forsman & Shine, 1995; Kingsolver, 1995, 1996). Several studies also have shown that individual differences in behaviours such as microhabitat use, reaction d...
متن کاملCamouflage Effects of Various Colour-Marking Morphs against Different Microhabitat Backgrounds in a Polymorphic Pygmy Grasshopper Tetrix japonica
BACKGROUND Colour-marking polymorphism is widely distributed among cryptic species. To account for the adaptive significance of such polymorphisms, several hypotheses have been proposed to date. Although these hypotheses argue over the degree of camouflage effects of marking morphs (and the interactions between morphs and their microhabitat backgrounds), as far as we know, most empirical eviden...
متن کاملNew and little-known pygmy grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae) from Thailand.
An annotated list of 39 species in 25 genera and seven subfamilies of the pygmy grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Tetrididae) from Thailand is given; from these 18 species are recorded from this country for the first time. Five new species are described: Cotysoides gaponi sp. nov. (subfamily Metrodorinae), Eucriotettix anisyutkini sp. nov., Gavialidium bufocrocodil sp. nov., Scelimena bellula sp. nov. ...
متن کاملDiversity and Relatedness Enhance Survival in Colour Polymorphic Grasshoppers
Evolutionary theory predicts that different resource utilization and behaviour by alternative phenotypes may reduce competition and enhance productivity and individual performance in polymorphic, as compared with monomorphic, groups of individuals. However, firm evidence that members of more heterogeneous groups benefit from enhanced survival has been scarce or lacking. Furthermore, benefits as...
متن کاملAfrican Pygmy Settlement Pattern
Although there are several lines of evidence regarding the prehistoric spread of farming peoples through the forest, nothing is known about the original pygmy occupation, nor the evolution of their relationship with the horticulturists. This paper will examine the history, geography, and ecology of that forest, and the prehistoric immigration of farming peoples in order to provide a context for...
