Life history plasticity in the satyrine butterfly Lasiommata petropolitana: investigating an adaptive reaction norm
K Gotthard - Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 1998 - Wiley Online Library
This study addresses the general hypothesis that insects living in seasonal environments
should shorten development times at progressively later dates in the growth season, and …

Seasonal plasticity in two satyrine butterflies: state-dependent decision making in relation to daylength
In this study we investigate how the need for seasonal timing of diapause and sexual
maturation have selected for plasticity in life history traits in two butterfly species …

Life-cycle regulation and life history plasticity in the speckled wood butterfly: are reaction norms predictable?
We investigated whether interpopulational variation in life-cycle regulation and life-history
plasticity, in response to photoperiod, is predictable from considerations of what would be …

Life-history plasticity in the butterfly Lycaena hippothoe: local adaptations and trade-offs
Life-history theory predicts some cost to be associated with short development time, the most
frequently assumed being small adult size. Alternatively, insects may increase …

Local adaptation to seasonal cues at the fronts of two parallel, climate‐induced butterfly range expansions
Climate change allows species to expand polewards, but non‐changing environmental
features may limit expansions. Daylength is unaffected by climate and drives life cycle timing …
