“…The direction of the among-trait correlations is fully consistent with the hypotheses reviewed in the Introduction, those being integrated into an 'adaptive story' in Hunter (1995), Tammaru and Haukioja (1996) and Snäll et al (2007), and partly in the context of female flightlessness, which is a frequent correlate of extreme capital breeding (Sattler 1991, Wahlberg et al 2010. In accordance with the adaptive story, all the detected associations support the idea that a strong trade-off between mobility and fecundity, characteristic of capital breeding females (and not of income breeders) has led to the simplification of their reproductive behavior, with an array of ecological consequences.…”

Predictive classifications of life histories are essential for evolutionary ecology. While attempts to apply a single approach to all organisms may be overambitious, recent advances suggest that more narrow ordination schemes can be useful. However, these schemes mostly lack easily observable proxies of the position of a species on respective axes. It has been proposed that, in insects, the degree of capital (vs. income) breeding, reflecting the importance of adult feeding for reproduction, correlates with various ecological traits at the level of among-species comparison. We sought to prove these ideas via rigorous phylogenetic comparative analyses. We used experimentally derived life-history data for 57 species of European Geometridae (Lepidoptera), and an original phylogenetic reconstruction. The degree of capital breeding was estimated based on morphological proxies, including relative abdomen size of females. Applying Brownian-motion-based comparative analyses (with an original update to include error estimates), we demonstrated the associations between the degree of capital breeding and larval diet breadth, sexual size dimorphism, and reproductive season. Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model based phylogenetic analysis suggested a causal relationship between the degree of capital breeding and diet breadth. Our study indicates that the gradation from capital to income breeding is an informative axis to ordinate life-history strategies in flying insects which are affected by the fecundity vs. mobility trade off, with the availability of easy to record proxies contributing to its predictive power in practical contexts.

“…However, there is no consensus about the taxonomic affinities of the numerous currently recognized tribes within the subfamily (Heppner, 2003). Within Ennominae, the genera can be divided into the "ennomine" and "boarmiine" groups based on the structure of the cremaster in the pupal stage (Forbes, 1948;Holloway, 1993;Pato ka & Tur ani, 2005;Viidalepp et al, 2007;Wahlberg et al, 2010). Beyond this major subdivision, the relationships among the numerous traditionally recognised tribes of Ennominae have remained largely uncertain (see Holloway, 1993 for a recent morphology-based hypothesis) and await a reassessment using contemporary methods of phylogenetic analysis.…”

Abstract. This study reports the results of a molecular phylogenetic analysis of thirty three species of Ennominae (Lepidoptera: Geometridae). The aim of this analysis was to determine the phylogenetic affinities of 13 European species not previously studied using these methods. Fragments of seven nuclear genes, elongation factor 1 alpha (EF-1 ), wingless (wgl), isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), ribosomal protein S5 (RpS5) and expansion segments D1 and D2 of the 28S rRNA gene and fragment of one mitochondrial gene, cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI), were used. In the analysis using Bayesian phylogenetic inference, original gene sequences of the target species were combined with a larger data matrix of 20 species of Ennominae, used in a previous study (Wahlberg et al., 2010, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol. 55: 929-938). Most notably, the results indicate that the representatives of the genera Cepphis, Plagodis, Pseudopanthera and Selenia form a well-supported monophyletic group which appeared as the sister clade to the rest of the "ennomine" group of tribes. On the other hand, Crocallis and Opisthograptis group together with Ennomos. These results conflict with previous tribal subdivisions of the subfamily pointing to the need to reconsider the concepts of Ennomini and Ourapterygini. Within the tribe Macariini, the genus Macaria appears to be more closely related to Itame (= Speranza) than to Chiasmia clathrata. The emerging phylogenetic tree of Ennominae suggests only a limited phylogenetic inertia in body size making this group a promising target for comparative studies on this central life history trait and its correlates.

A comparative study on insect longevity: tropical moths do not differ from their temperate relatives

If the evolutionary determinants of longevity were mainly extrinsic, related species from different habitats should systematically differ in individual lifespans. Comparative studies of insects can signi cantly contribute to understanding the evolution of lifespan, as the trait can feasibly be measured in a high number of species. We recorded adult longevities for 110 species of geometrid moths from a tropical community. Comparative analyses based on an original phylogenetic reconstruction were applied to reveal the correlates of species-speci c values of lifespan. Larger moth species were found to live longer, and females tended to have shorter lifespans than males. Average adult lifespans in tropical geometrids, and the relationships of lifespan with other variables, were found to be highly similar to those reported for their temperate region relatives. The among-region similarity leads to the conclusion of the dominance of intrinsic (physiological) determinants of longevity over the extrinsic (ecological) ones: the contrasting environments of tropical and temperate forests have not produced detectable differences in moth longevities.
