Impact of starvation on immune defense and other life- history traits of an outbreaking geometrid, Epirrita autumnata: a possible causal trigger for the crash phase of population cycle
Outbreaking populations of the autumnal moth, Epirrita autumnata, are regularly facing a shortage of food and starvation. We found that starvation led to a prolonged larval development and a marked reduction in pupal weights. A decrease in female pupal weight caused a 50% decrease in the realized fecundity. Due to starvation the melanotic encapsulation rate decreased but the activity of PO — a ...

متن کاملDeep sympatric mtDNA divergence in the autumnal moth (Epirrita autumnata)
Deep sympatric intraspecific divergence in mtDNA may reflect cryptic species or formerly distinct lineages in the process of remerging. Preliminary results from DNA barcoding of Scandinavian butterflies and moths showed high intraspecific sequence variation in the autumnal moth, Epirrita autumnata. In this study, specimens from different localities in Norway and some samples from Finland and Sc...
متن کاملInbreeding and outbreeding depression in Caenorhabditis nematodes.
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans reproduces primarily by self-fertilization of hermaphrodites, yet males are present at low frequencies in natural populations (androdioecy). The ancestral state of C. elegans was probably gonochorism (separate males and females), as in its relative C. remanei. Males may be maintained in C. elegans because outcrossed individuals escape inbreeding depression. T...
متن کاملTransposable elements in inbreeding and outbreeding populations.
Y OUNG et al. (1994) recently found that a putative transposable element (Lytl) is present at high abundance in the genomes of individuals sampled from a group of red-fruited species of Lycopersicon, and at a much lower abundance in green-fruited species of this genus. Similar or somewhat lower abundances were found in Solanum species believed to be closely related to Lycopersicon, and even low...
