Resource acquisition, allocation, and utilization in parasitoid reproductive strategies
Parasitoids display remarkable inter-and intraspecific variation in their reproductive and
associated traits. Adaptive explanations have been proposed for many of the between-trait …

Larval food limitation in butterflies: effects on adult resource allocation and fitness
CL Boggs, KD Freeman - Oecologia, 2005 - Springer
Allocation of larval food resources affects adult morphology and fitness in holometabolous
insects. Here we explore the effects on adult morphology and female fitness of larval semi …

Seminal influences: Drosophila Acps and the molecular interplay between males and females during reproduction
K Ravi Ram, MF Wolfner - Integrative and comparative biology, 2007 - academic.oup.com
Successful reproduction requires contributions from both the male and the female. In
Drosophila, contributions from the male include accessory gland proteins (Acps) that are …

Making eggs from nectar: the role of life history and dietary carbon turnover in butterfly reproductive resource allocation
The diets of many butterflies and moths change dramatically with development: from
herbivory in the larvae to nectarivory in the adults. These diets are nutritionally distinct, and …

Mothers reduce egg provisioning with age
Precise and comprehensive data on resource allocation into individual eggs are rare and
this empirical void in the literature of life history strategies contrasts with the large number of …
