Host‐plant use in the range expansion of the pine processionary moth, Thaumetopoea pityocampa (2006, background): “For instance, species in which females are extremely short-lived as adults are under a strong time limitation to oviposit ( Courtney, 1982; Leather & Burnand, 1987; Wiggins, 1997; Scheirs & De Bruyn, 2002; Jervis et al ., 2005 ).”
Reproductive tradeoffs of learning in a butterfly (2011, background): “Just how costly is a delay in reproduction? Because lepidopteran species mature a large proportion of their eggs during adulthood—many using adult-acquired resources—it is unclear just how long into adulthood our observed reproductive delay is relevant (O’Brien et al. 2002; Jervis et al. 2005).”
The Evolution of Animal Nuptial Gifts (2012, background): “…females emerge with their entire complement of eggs already matured (e.g., mayflies), while in others (e.g., P. ignitus fireflies) females will continue to mature eggs throughout their reproductive lives (Jervis and Ferns, 2004; Jervis et al., 2005 compiled relevant data for many parasitoid wasps).”
Understanding insect life histories and senescence through a resource allocation lens. (2009, background): “The ovigeny index, that is, the proportion of oocytes mature at adult emergence, also decreases with increasing completeness of adult diet, allowing more oocytes to be made from adult-derived resources (Jervis et al. 2005).”
More than just indicators: A review of tropical butterfly ecology and conservation (2010, background): “In particular, tropical female butterflies using diverse resources are more likely to have a lower proportion of mature eggs at emergence and produce eggs throughout their lives (Boggs, 1986, 1997; Jervis et al., 2005).”
What limits insect fecundity? Body size- and temperature-dependent egg maturation and oviposition in a butterfly (2008, background): “Females might also pay a more direct cost of reproduction because allocation of energy to eggs should leave less resources to maintain body functions, resulting in reduced female performance and survival (Papaj 2000; Carey 2001; Roff 2002; Jervis, Boggs & Ferns 2005, Jervis, Ferns & Boggs 2007).”
