No differences in reproductive success of burying beetles after adaption to laboratory conditions on lab versus field soil
Editorial summary
Grieve and Pilakouta compare reproductive performance of fifth-generation laboratory-reared Nicrophorus vespilloides on artificial compost and field soil. They find no evidence of breeding-substrate specialisation and no difference in the mean or variance of measured reproductive-success traits.
