What Prolongs a Butterfly's Life?: Trade-Offs between Dormancy, Fecundity and Body Size
In butterflies, life span often increases only at the expense of fecundity. Prolonged life span, on the other hand, provides more opportunities for oviposition. Here, we studied the association between life span and summer dormancy in two closely related species of Palearctic Meadow Brown butterflie...
