Predictive adaptive responses: Condition-dependent impact of adult nutrition and flight in the tropical butterfly Bicyclus anynanaMarjo Saastamoinen
Institute of Biology, Leiden University, P O Box 9505, 2300 RA, Leiden, The Netherlands
Am Nat 176:686-98. 2010..The results reveal an important plasticity component to variation in flight performance and suggest that the cost of flight depends on an individual's internal condition...- Environmentally induced dispersal-related life-history syndrome in the tropical butterfly, Bicyclus anynanaMarjo Saastamoinen
Metapopulation Research Group, Department of Biosciences, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland
J Evol Biol 25:2264-75. 2012.... - Direct and trans-generational responses to food deprivation during development in the Glanville fritillary butterflyM Saastamoinen
Department of Biosciences, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland
Oecologia 171:93-104. 2013..Offspring of food-deprived Glanville fritillary initially showed poor immune response to parasitism, but not later on in development... 
Significant effects of Pgi genotype and body reserves on lifespan in the Glanville fritillary butterflyMarjo Saastamoinen
Section of Evolutionary Biology, Institute of Biology, Leiden University, Leiden 2300 RA, The Netherlands
Proc Biol Sci 276:1313-22. 2009..These results indicate life-history trade-offs that involve resource allocation and genotypexenvironment interactions, and these trade-offs are likely to contribute to the maintenance of Pgi polymorphism in the natural populations...
Mobility and lifetime fecundity in new versus old populations of the Glanville fritillary butterflyMarjo Saastamoinen
Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland
Oecologia 153:569-78. 2007..These results highlight the importance of conducting experiments in more than one year before generalizing about patterns in life history variation...- Heritability of dispersal rate and other life history traits in the Glanville fritillary butterflyM Saastamoinen
Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland
Heredity (Edinb) 100:39-46. 2008..This finding is consistent with previous results showing that the F1 female but not male offspring of females that naturally established new populations in the field are significantly more dispersive than butterflies in old populations... - Genotypic and environmental effects on flight activity and oviposition in the Glanville fritillary butterflyMarjo Saastamoinen
Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences, University of Helsinki, P O Box 65 Viikinkaari 1, Helsinki FI 00014, Finland
Am Nat 171:701-12. 2008..These results suggest that variation in physiological and molecular capacity to sustain active flight at low ambient temperature has significant fitness-related consequences in insects... - Age-dependent survival analyzed with Bayesian models of mark-recapture dataChaozhi Zheng
Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences, P O Box 65, Viikinkaari I, FI 00014 University of Helsinki, Finland
Ecology 88:1970-6. 2007..Capture probability decreased with increasing temperature and decreased with increasing mobility of individuals... - Dispersal-related life-history trade-offs in a butterfly metapopulationIlkka Hanski
Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences, P O Box 65, Viikinkaari 1, FI 00014 University of Helsinki, Finland
J Anim Ecol 75:91-100. 2006.... - A candidate locus for variation in dispersal rate in a butterfly metapopulationChristoph R Haag
University of Helsinki, Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences, PO Box 65, 00014 Helsinki, Finland
Proc Biol Sci 272:2449-56. 2005..These results also contribute to an emerging understanding of the mechanisms by which population turnover in heterogeneous landscapes may maintain genetic and phenotypic variation across populations... - Cracking the olfactory code of a butterfly: the scent of ageingCaroline M Nieberding
Evolutionary Biology Group, Institute of Biology, Leiden University, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands
Ecol Lett 15:415-24. 2012..Our data also reveal that there may be no 'lek paradox' to resolve once the precise signal of importance to females is identified, as hexadecanal is, as expected, depleted in additive genetic variation... - The predictive adaptive response: modeling the life-history evolution of the butterfly Bicyclus anynana in seasonal environmentsJoost van den Heuvel
Evolutionary Biology Group, Leiden University, P O Box 9516, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands
Am Nat 181:E28-42. 2013..We conclude that for B. anynana, early-stage cues can direct development toward a better adapted phenotype later in life and, therefore, that a PAR has evolved in this species... - Temperature treatments during larval development reveal extensive heritable and plastic variation in gene expression and life history traitsJouni Kvist
Institute of Biotechnology, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland
Mol Ecol 22:602-19. 2013..These findings suggest that metapopulation dynamics in heterogeneous environments maintain heritable gene expression variation that affects the regulation of life history traits...
