Morfometria de Papilioninae (Lepidoptera, Papilionidae) ocorrentes em quatro localidades do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. I. Comparações com a massa corporal

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Morphometrics of Papilioninae (Lepidoptera, Papilionidae) occurring in four localities of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. I. Comparisons with body mass. Relationship analysis among wing and body parts in Lepidoptera may reveal a connection between structure and function. This study investigates relationships between swallowtail body size and its parts to understand how shape and size are determined, and how they are related to adaptation to biotic and abiotic environments. Females are heavier than males (… Show more

“…Wing proportions are in uenced, according to the size of the rib cage, as individuals with larger wings have more developed muscles (Marden and Chain, 1991). Morphometry studies con rm that the insects' anterior wings have an important allometric measurement in determining size and shape (Mare and Corseuil, 2004;Sane, 2003). This fact is called phenotypic plasticity (Gotthard and Nylin, 1995;Loh et al, 2008), and does not justify the great variation only in the wings, but in all the dimensioned segments of this study.…”

“…This arrangement of muscles within the insects' rib cage is directly related to weight, because the larger it is inferred that the male will have better physical conditioning (Srygley and Chai, 1990). Individuals who have these morphometric characteristics exhibit, for example, a higher frequency of copulations, better biological and even physical conditioning (Mare and Corseuil, 2004).…”

“…Morfologia dos adultos de Brassolis astyra Godart, 1824 emergidos de pupas criadas sob condições de laboratório (25 ºC ± 1 ºC, 70% de umidade e fotoperíodo de 14 horas luz) (CA, comprimento abdominal; CT, comprimento total; CTC, comprimento tórax/ cremaster; cv, coeficiente de variação; F, fêmeas; LCL, largura cefálica lateral; LCV, largura cefálica ventral; LTL, largura toráxica lateral; LTV, largura toráxica ventral; M, machos; PE, parâmetros estimados). MARE et al (2004), em Papilioninae, podemos inferir três explicações para a ocorrência de dimorfismo sexual em Brassolis astyra: a primeira é que fêmeas com maior tamanho do corpo podem ser favorecidas com a produção de maior volume e tamanho das posturas; a segunda seria devido a diferentes taxas de alocação de energia para crescimento e reprodução entre os sexos; ou o dimorfismo sexual pode ser um mecanismo de redução da competição intra-específica por recursos alimentares.…”
