Egg maturation strategy and its associated trade‐offs: a synthesis focusing on Lepidoptera (2005, background): “…fecundity) but also lifetime reproductive success (Flanders, 1950; Boggs, 1986; Rosenheim, 1996; Heimpel & Rosenheim, 1998; Heimpel et al., 1998; Rosenheim, 1999a, b; Ellers et al., 2000; Papaj, 2000; Roitberg, 2000; Rosenheim et al., 2000; Jervis et al., 2001; Ellers & Jervis, 2003, 2004).”
Handbook of protocols for standardized measurement of terrestrial invertebrate functional traits (2017, unknown): “…and redundancy among species sharing similar effect traits, and the overlap between response and effect traits is important for enhancing predictability of ecosystem functioning under environmental change (Folke, Holling & Perrings 1996; Elmquist et al. 2003; Mori, Furukawa & Sasaki 2013).”
What limits insect fecundity? Body size- and temperature-dependent egg maturation and oviposition in a butterfly (2008, background): “However, in environments where conditions for oviposition in general are limited but vary stochastically in pulses, the build up of a bigger egg load will make large females better prepared for periods offering generous egg laying opportunities, while small females at these times will find themselve”
