Egg distribution and survivorship in the pierid butterfly, Colias alexandra
Abstract
Patterns of egg distribution and survivorship were examined for six generations of a univoltine population of the pierid butterfly Colias alexandra, finding that among clumped individuals, survivorship is two times greater for the first or previously-laid individual than the second or subsequently- laid individual, suggesting that if there is a genetic basis for the common contagious pattern, selection is acting against it.
