Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2024.In evolutionary terms, plastic traits can covary, providing adaptive value by compensating for certain characteristic costs or enhancing fitness. We used a geometric and functional morphometric approach to investigate the variation in plasticity of structures (clypeus, protibia, elytra, and membranous wing), their integration with horn size in males ...

Clypeal patterning in the paper wasp Polistes dominulus: no evidence of adaptive value in the wild [PDF]
, 2016 Status signals function in a number of species to communicate competitive ability to conspecific rivals during competition for resources. In the paper wasp Polistes dominulus, variable black clypeal patterns are thought to be important in mediating ...

Evolutionary cycles in a model of nestmate recognition
Oikos, Volume 2024, Issue 11, November 2024.Nestmate recognition is a widespread phenomenon and evolutionary important trait in the social insects. Yet evidence accumulates that the responses to non‐nestmates varies more than previously thought. We present a simple frequency‐dependent cost‐benefit model of nestmate recognition to understand conditions that might or might not favor the evolution ...

Reproductive ecology and egg parasitism of the Samoan swallowtail butterfly
Ecosphere, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2024.Abstract We investigated the reproductive ecology and effects of egg parasitism on the Samoan swallowtail butterfly (Papilio godeffroyi), which survives only on Tutuila Island, American Samoa, after having disappeared from the much larger islands of Upolu and Savai‘i in independent Samoa.
