TY - T1 - Beyond thermal melanism : association of wing melanization with fitness and flight behaviour in a butterfly SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/322250 T3 - A1 - Rosa, Elena; Saastamoinen, Marjo A2 - PB - Y1 - 2020 LA - eng AB - Cold developmental conditions can greatly affect adult life history of ectotherms in seasonal habitats. Such effects are mostly negative, but sometimes adaptive. Here, we tested how cold conditions experienced during pupal development affect adult wing melanization of an insect ectotherm, the Glanville fritillary butterfly, Melitaea cinxia. We also assessed how in turn previous cold exposure and increased melanization can shape adult behaviour and fitness, by monitoring individuals in a seminatu...
