How do gene variants with opposing effects on fitness in juvenile and adult insects perform in different ecological settings? Marden et al. used alleles of two antagonistic genes involved in metabolism and oxygen sensing in the Glanville fritillary butterfly as a model to demonstrate how these genes can antagonistically affect larval development and the adaptation of adults to different landscapes. This paper provides a case study for understanding how antagonistic pleiotropy can contribute to species adaption in patchy environments.

摘要：拮抗多效性可以促进对斑驳环境的适应

对幼虫和成虫的健康有相反影响的基因变异在不同的生态环境中如何表现？马登等人。使用参与 Glanville 贝母蝴蝶代谢和氧感应的两个拮抗基因的等位基因作为模型来证明这些基因如何拮抗地影响幼虫发育和成虫对不同景观的适应。本文提供了一个案例研究，以了解拮抗多效性如何在斑驳的环境中促进物种适应。
