intraspecific variation in pelophylax ridibunda (rana ridibunda) in southern iran: life history and developmental patterns
this study describes the influences of variations in life history traits and developmental patterns of pelophylax ridibunda. the causes of this variation were investigated by comparing observed patterns of interpopulational differences from geographic variables. the aim of the study was to investigate whether embryos and larvae from different populations of p. ridibunda show the same pattern of...
متن کاملLife-history and ecological correlates of geographic variation in egg and clutch mass among passerine species.
Broad geographic patterns in egg and clutch mass are poorly described, and potential causes of variation remain largely unexamined. We describe interspecific variation in avian egg and clutch mass within and among diverse geographic regions and explore hypotheses related to allometry, clutch size, nest predation, adult mortality, and parental care as correlates and possible explanations of vari...
متن کاملGeographic variation in diapause incidence, life-history traits, and climatic adaptation in Drosophila melanogaster.
In Drosophila melanogaster, exposure of females to low temperature and shortened photoperiod can induce the expression of reproductive quiescence or diapause. Diapause expression is highly variable within and among natural populations and has significant effects on life-history profiles, including patterns of longevity, fecundity, and stress resistance. We hypothesized that if diapause expressi...
متن کاملThe Influence of Diurnal Temperature Variation on Degree-Day Accumulation and Insect Life History
Ectotherms, such as insects, experience non-constant temperatures in nature. Daily mean temperatures can be derived from the daily maximum and minimum temperatures. However, the converse is not true and environments with the same mean temperature can exhibit very different diurnal temperate ranges. Here we apply a degree-day model for development of the grape berry moth (Paralobesia viteana, a ...
متن کاملGeographic variation in thermal plasticity of life history and wing pattern in Bicyclus anynana
Temperature is one of the main environmental cues regulating seasonal plasticity in insects. Global climate change may lead to a change in the predictive value of temperature for seasonal conditions, potentially resulting in a mismatch of phenotypic form and environment. The afrotropical butterfly Bicyclus anynana shows striking seasonal plasticity for wing patterns and life history traits. Thi...
