“…Larger body size is often associated with higher fecundity and therefore higher fitness in insects (Honěk 1993; but also see Leather 1988). On the other hand, longer developmental times of larvae generally increase the potential for predation (Bernays 1997) and increase intraspecific competition when resources are declining (Ezoe 1995). Assuming a constant rate of larval mass gain, natural selection theory predicts the evolution of an optimal balance between these two parameters that will minimise the ratio of mortality rate to growth rate (Werner 1986).…”

“…However, as noted, when the fitness from accelerated development depends on the developmental rate of conspecifics, game theory is needed to evaluate fitness payoffs (see e.g. 24,68).…”

“…Reproductive synchrony is not the only ESS in seasonal environments, however, because asynchronous reproduction can also be favored in seasonal environments if competition reduces both food availability and neonatal growth (Iwasa 1991;Ezoe 1995).…”
