Longevity in lines of Tribolium castaneum selected for high and for low dispersal. 1981

B Lavie

A comparison between Tribolium castaneum lines selected for high and low dispersal revealed that longevity is higher for the low dispersal line. The high dispersal line is superior to the low dispersal line when early adult fitness is considered. Previous experiments reported a shorter development time for the higher dispersal time. The present study shows for this line higher survival until 60 days from enclosure.
