Habitat Persistence and the Evolution of Wing Dimorphism in Insects

The American Naturalist, 1994
Wing dimorphism occurs commonly among many species of insects. This dimorphism is hypothesized to be maintained by a trade-off between the costs of being macropterous (winged, flight capable) and the long-term benefits of migration in a heterogeneous environment.

Role of monoamine metabolism in wing dimorphism of the aphid Myzus persicae

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Comparative Pharmacology, 1976
Abstract 1. 1. Wing dimorphism of the aphid Myzus persicae which normally is regulated by a number of exogenic factors can be influenced by neuropharmaca. 2. 2. With micro-injections of drugs that are known to act on monoamine metabolism it is possible to direct the course of development towards the alate or apterous morph. 3.

Wing Dimorphism and Diapause in Gerris: Determination and Adaptive Significance

1978
Water-striders of the genus Gerris Fabr. consist of a small group of predatory bugs living on the water surface. In temperate climates the habitats often freeze in the winter, and gerrids overwinter on dry land as imagos. The morphology of the species restricts them to habitats protected from wave action.
