Plasticity in life-history traits.
We describe the impact of recent life-history plasticity theory on insect studies, particularly on the interface between genetics and plasticity. We focus on the three-dimensional relationship between three key life-history traits: adult size (or mass), development time and growth rate, and the connections to life cycle regulation, host plant choice, and sexual selection in seasonal environment...
متن کاملPhenotypic plasticity for life history traits in Drosophila melanogaster. I. Effect on phenotypic and environmental correlations
All 36 possible crosses among 6 homozygous lines of Drosophila melunoguster were tested for their phenotypic response in developmental time and dry weight at eclosion to variation in temperature and yeast concentration. This method was chosen because it allows one to produce the same heterozygous offspring repeatedly for testing under more conditions than could be handled at once. We estimated ...
متن کاملPomacea canaliculata (Gastropoda: Ampullariidae): life-history traits and their plasticity.
Freshwater snails belonging to the Ampullariidae family show noteworthy anatomical, physiological and ecological characteristics (Berthold, 1991), which have captivated scientific interest since long ago. However, few field studies have focussed on apple snail population dynamics (Burky, 1974; Lum Kong and Kenny, 1989). International concern about the Argentinean apple snail Pomacea canaliculat...
متن کاملLizard community structure along environmental gradients.
1. How the total number of individuals in a community is divided among its species is governed by both the distribution of species along landscape-scale environmental gradients and by local resource partitioning. In vertebrate ectotherms, abiotic environmental conditions may constrain geographic distributions more strongly than local population densities due to thermal constraints on resource a...
متن کاملLimits to adaptation along environmental gradients.
Why do species not adapt to ever-wider ranges of conditions, gradually expanding their ecological niche and geographic range? Gene flow across environments has two conflicting effects: although it increases genetic variation, which is a prerequisite for adaptation, gene flow may swamp adaptation to local conditions. In 1956, Haldane proposed that, when the environment varies across space, "swam...
