Bridging developmental boundaries: lifelong dietary patterns modulate life histories in a parthenogenetic insect.

Determining the effects of lifelong intake patterns on performance is challenging for many species, primarily because of methodological constraints. Here, we used a parthenogenetic insect (Carausius morosus) to determine the effects of limited and unlimited food availability across multiple life-his...
