  • Later in the season, when deposited eggs enter diapause and female survivorship is low, females will reduce their assessment of containers and therefore show no preference between containers. (confex.com)
  • However, late in the season when adult female mortality is high, females likely reduce their risk of dying prior to oviposition by minimizing their assessment between containers and lay eggs in the first container encountered. (confex.com)
  • Overall, our findings reveal that early season herbivory reduces the performance of conspecific individuals on the same host plant later in the growing season, and that this time-lagged intraspecific competition results from a mismatch between the oviposition preference of females and the performance of its offspring.
