Phenotypic plasticity of pre-adult egg maturation in a parasitoid: Effects of host-starvation and brood size

Larvae of parasitoid wasps develop on a single arthropod host, and often face resource limitation that induces a tradeoff between egg maturation and somatic growth. Part of the variation in the growth-reproduction allocation was shown to be heritable, but how the larval developmental environment aff...
