process
oviposition host plant choice
The selection of specific plants by female insects for egg-laying that affects larval survival and development
process
gene flow
Movement of genes between populations through migration and reproduction
process
balancing selection
Selection that maintains multiple alleles in a population at frequencies above those expected from mutation alone
process
plant density effects
How plant population density affects individual plant growth, morphology, and susceptibility to herbivory through competition and resource availability
process
viability selection
Selection on body mass accounting for juvenile survival until reproduction but may weaken after recruitment
