“born with a silver spoon in the mouth has bad sides too”: experimentally increasing growth rate enhances individual quality but accelerates reproductive senescence in females of the mealworm beetle, tenebrio molitor

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Crosland Agathe from the University of Thessaly, Greece have published the research: “Born with a silver spoon in the mouth has bad sides too”: Experimentally increasing growth rate enhances individual quality but accelerates reproductive senescence in females of the mealworm beetle, Tenebrio molitor, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: The authors propose here to study this relationship using a biological model where pre-adult growth can be easily discriminated against (holometabolous insect, where immature stages are strictly different from the sexually mature stage), can be manipulated independently of the diet, and for which experimental conditions . . .
