To understand better the effects of age on host selection through conspecific egg detection
by Anthocharis scolymus females, field observations were performed at a graveyard where …

We investigated how the distribution pattern of eggs and larval on the host plant, Turritus
glabra, was influenced by the oviposition behavior of the pierid butterfly Anthocharis …

Abstract Effects of mothers' eclosion and oviposition timing on the survival of their offspring
in the pierid butterfly Anthocharis scolymus (L.) was examined. I recorded the performance …

In invaded environments, formerly reliable cues might no longer be associated with adaptive
outcomes and organisms can become trapped by their evolved responses. The invasion of …

For the majority of insects, a female's choice of oviposition site (s) greatly influences both the
success of individual offspring and her own total fitness. Theory predicts that females most …

There have been reports of butterflies that oviposit on non-native plants that do not support
the development of the larvae, and the fitness cost of this behavior has been estimated in …

1. Outcomes for butterfly conservation can hinge on interactions with host plants during early
larval instars. Ontogenetic changes in larvae may cause predictors of survival to shift quickly …

Root‐feeding insects can affect the performance of aboveground insect herbivores when
they are forced to feed on the same host plant. Here we explored whether the oviposition …

The influence of host‐plant acceptability on oviposition rate, egg load, internal fat storage
and longevity was studied in the small white butterfly, Pieris rapae L.(Lepidoptera: Pieridae) …

The effects of temporal variation in the quality of short-lived annual plants on oviposition
preference and larval performance of insect herbivores has thus far received little attention …
