Description
The International Congress of Entomology holds symposia on insect life-cycles every four years. This book arose from papers contributed by most of the speakers at the latest symposium held in Vancouver, Canada, in July 1988. It provides a diverse array of studies on insect life-cycle evolution which can be broken down into three main levels of approach: comparisons of genetic variation and covariation underlying life-cycle traits; comparisons of variable phenotypes within and among populations of the same and/or related species; and comparisons of habitat-specific traits regardless of relatedness.
Table of Contents
- Part 1 Genetics of life-cycle traits: evolution of insect life-cycles
- the role of genetic analysis. Part 2 Evolution of life-cycle traits: use of selection to probe patterns of pleiotropy in fitness characters
- phenology and demography in the pitcher-plant mosquito
- developmental programmes and adaptive syndromes in insect life-cycles
- coevolution between herbivorous insects and plants
- size phylogeny and life-history in the evolution of feeding specialization in insect predators
- opportunistic diapause in the subtropical ground cricket
- evolution of mutualistic life cycles - yucca moths and fig wasps
- testing hypotheses about the evolution of the mean phenotype in temporarily variable environments. Part 3 Co-ordination of life-cycle traits: insect herbivores
- herbivory and plant succession
- migration and co-ordination of life-cycles exemplified by lygaeidae bugs
- competition and selection in habitat - the implications for insect life-cycles
- facultative and obligatory diapause responses in three species of Burnet moths
- the present and future of insect life-cycle evolution.
