Larval food limitation in butterflies: effects on adult resource allocation and fitness

Abstract

A picture is provided of the intra-specific response of a suite of traits to ecological stress in the butterfly Speyeria mormonia, whereby fecundity is affected by adult dietary restriction, a pattern reminiscent of a survival/reproduction trade-off, but across a developmental boundary.
