North vs. South: Contrasting patterns in the phenotypic plasticity of the firebug Pyrrhocoris apterus (Hemiptera: Pyrrhocoridae) at the latitudinal extremes of its distribution range

In widely distributed insects, some life-history traits are conserved across the whole distribution range and are considered species-specific while other such traits differ geographically. This interplay of geographic variation and phenotypic conservatism is poorly understood even in relatively well...
