AB  - The role of mitochondrial DNA for the evolution of life-history traits remains debated. We examined mitonuclear effects on the activity of the multisubunit complex of the electron transport chain (ETC) involved in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) across lines of the seed beetle Acanthoscelides obtectus selected for a short (E) or a long (L) life for more than >160 generations. We constructed and phenotyped mitonuclear introgression lines, which allowed us to assess the independent effects of the evolutionary history of the nuclear and the mitochondrial genome. The nuclear genome was responsible for the largest share of divergence seen in ageing. However, the mitochondrial genome also had sizeable effects, which were sex-specific and expressed primarily as epistatic interactions with the nuclear genome. The effects of mitonuclear disruption were largely consistent with mitonuclear coadaptation. Variation in ETC activity explained a large proportion of variance in ageing and life-history traits and this multivariate relationship differed somewhat between the sexes. In conclusion, mitonuclear epistasis has played an important role in the laboratory evolution of ETC complex activity, ageing, and life histories and these are closely associated. The mitonuclear architecture of evolved differences in life-history traits and mitochondrial bioenergetics was sex-specific.

AB  - Expansion of the host range in phytophagous insects depends on their ability to form an association with a novel plant through changes in host-related traits. Phenotypic plasticity has important effects on initial survival of individuals faced with a new plant, as well as on the courses of evolutionary change during long-term adaptation to novel conditions. Using experimental populations of the seed beetle that evolved on ancestral (common bean) or novel (chickpea) host and applying reciprocal transplant at both larval and adult stage on the alternative host plant, we studied the relationship between the initial (plastic) phases of host-shift and the subsequent stages of evolutionary divergence in life-history strategies between populations exposed to the host-shift process. After 48 generations, populations became well adapted to chickpea by evolving the life-history strategy with prolonged larval development, increased body mass, earlier reproduction, shorter lifespan and decreased plasticity of all traits compared with ancestral conditions. In chickpea-adapted beetles, negative fitness consequences of low plasticity of pre-adult development (revealed as severe decrease in egg-to-adult viability on beans) exhibited mismatch with positive effects of low plasticity (i.e. low host sensitivity) in oviposition and fecundity. In contrast, beetles adapted to the ancestral host showed high plasticity of developmental process, which enabled high larval survival on chickpea, whereas elevated plasticity in adult behaviour (i.e. high host sensitivity) resulted in delayed reproduction and decreased fecundity on chickpea. The analysis of population growth parameters revealed significant fluctuation during successive phases of the host-shift process in A. obtectus.

AB  - Mating behavior is based on communication among mates and includes both sexual signaling and mating preferences. In phytophagous insects, shift to a novel host will expose associated traits to novel selection regimes and eventually cause assortative mating and sexual isolation between populations inhabiting diverse host plants. We investigated the relationship between short- and long-term changes in mating systems on Acanthoscelides obtectus. Mating preferences were evaluated using measures of copulation frequency in mating trials within and among populations and by measuring time spent in sexual interactions prior to copulation. Sexual signaling was previously analyzed by chemical detection of contact pheromones (i.e., cuticular hydrocarbons [CHCs]), and these results were used in this study. Laboratory populations evolved for 50 generations either on the optimal host (common bean) or on the suboptimal host (chickpea). To determine short-term effects, subsets of individuals from each population were exposed to the alternative host for 1 generation. We revealed higher level of indiscriminate mating in populations, which evolved on the suboptimal host. Males from these populations spent less time in assessing mates although they had the ability to discriminate between signals. Short-term larval experience on the suboptimal host also decreased selectivity of mates. The results imply that plastically induced reduction in mate discrimination, after a shift to suboptimal host, may have been canalized through long-term genetic changes underlying behavioral development. Significant reproductive isolation between the 2 sets of populations was revealed regardless of the short-term host treatment. © The Author 2014.

AB  - In species with separate sexes, gender differences in longevity are widespread and the extent and direction of these differences varies tremendously among taxa. To understand sexual dimorphism in longevity and explain how different forms of selection shape longevity and other fitness-related traits within and among species, it is important to obtain information on the genetic architecture (the number of genes and degree of inter- and intra-genic interactions) and various mechanistic causes which underlie mortality variation between the sexes. Here we review recent empirical studies on gender differences in longevity in insect species, from both mechanistic and evolutionary perspective. Whenever it was possible, we focus on data obtained from the laboratory evolution experiments because the study of evolution under controlled conditions may provide valuable evidence not only for the effects of natural and sexual selection in shaping sex-specific longevities and mortality rates but also it offers novel insights into the mechanistic basis of these differences.

AB  - In the present study we test whether variation in resistance to paraquat (PQ), a free radical generator, correlates with variation in longevity in two sets of seed beetles (Acanthoscelides obtectus) experimental lines that were selected either for early reproduction and short-life or late reproduction and long-life. Long-lived late reproduction lines (L) showed increased resistance to PQ, while opposite was true for short-lived early reproduction line (E). Striking outcome of the selection for early and late reproduction in A. obtectus is asymmetry of responses to alternate mating schedules. The intensity of response depended on selection regime, sex and PQ dose. Evolution of longevity and PQ resistance was faster in L than E selection regime, and in females than males. To understand how age-specific mortality rates are affected by PQ we decomposed post-stress mortality data (using Gompertz mortality model) into initial mortality rate, which reflects basal vulnerability to stresses and age-specific mortality rate, which concerns the rate of increase in stress vulnerability, i.e. the rate of senescence. By estimating the parameters of the Gompertz mortality model we have shown that longevity reduction caused by PQ was the consequence of the increased baseline mortality rather than a speed up of the rate of ageing.

AB  - While most theoretical models for the evolution of ageing assume that duration of pre-adult development does not affect the longevity, experimental data are still controversial and inconsistent. Here we examined the short-term and long-term pattern of pre-adult development time and longevity in populations of the gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) originating from either oak forest (Quercus petrea), a suitable, or locust-tree forest (Robinia psedoacacia), a poor habitat. Using a full-sib design, we examined the genetic correlations between traits found in larvae reared on oak or locust-tree leaves. We detected only negative and insignificant genetic correlations, except for males from the Robinia population reared on oak leaves where the correlation was negative and significant. Our results also showed that a population living 40 generations in the locust-tree forest exhibited a significantly higher longevity than the Quercus population, whereas a significant difference between these two populations in pre-adult development time does not exist. The results are discussed in relation to the potential effect of stress selection in moulding the longevity of the gypsy moth.

Here we examined the short-term and long-term pattern of pre-adult development time and longevity in populations of the gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) originating from either oak forest (Quercus petrea), a suitable, or locust-tree forest (Robinia psedoacacia), a poor habitat. Using a full-sib design, we examined the genetic correlations between traits found in larvae reared on oak or locust-tree leaves. We detected only negative and insignificant genetic correlations, except for males from the Robinia population reared on oak leaves where the correlation was negative and significant. Our results also showed that a population living 40 generations in the locust-tree forest exhibited a significantly higher longevity than the Quercus population, whereas a significant difference between these two populations in pre-adult development time does not exist. The results are discussed in relation to the potential effect of stress selection in moulding the longevity of the gypsy moth.",

AB  - In this article we investigate the direct and correlated responses to selection for developmental time in order to discern differences between lines in several preadult and adult life history traits of Acanthoscelides obtectus (Coleoptera, Bruchidae). Selection for fast development was about five times as effective as selection for slow development, as judged by realized heritabilities. The correlated responses on the following life-history traits were studied: egg size, hatching success, embryonic developmental time, egg-to-adult viability, body weight, first day of egg laying, total fecundity, and longevity. Analyses of the terminal generation of selection showed that all life history traits examined, except for hatching success, were affected by selection. The findings suggest that body weight, total fecundity, and longevity traded off to preadult developmental time. Unlike the adult traits, none of the preadult traits showed negative correlations with developmental time. We also present data concerning the underlying genetic basis that produces changes in preadult developmental time, body weight, and egg-to-adult viability in the lines selected for fast and slow preadult developmental time. Additive-dominance genetic architecture for both preadult developmental time and body weight was found. In addition, it appears that the responses to selection for preadult developmental time involved between 10 and 28 loci, which were correlated with at least one to four genes for body weight. Epistasis makes a significant contribution to genetic divergence between fast and slow selected lines only with respect to preadult viability. The observed levels of dominance and epistasis underscore the important role of nonadditive genetic effects to the adaptive diversifications of bean weevil populations.

AB  - The pattern of adaptation with regard to life history traits and traits thought to be important in feeding habits of
caterpillars in two populations of the gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L.; Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) originating
from the locust tree (Robinia pseudoacacia; Fabaceae) and oak (Quercus petrea; Fagaceae) forests were investigated
in the laboratory. The Robinia population has experienced unsuitable locust tree leaves as an exclusive
food resource for more than 40 years. Since Quercus species are the principal host plants of the gypsy moth,
the specific objectives of this study have been to measure the extent of differentiation between ancestral and
derived populations in several life history traits (egg-to-adult viability, duration of larval and pupal stages, and
pupal weight) and nutritional indices – relative growth rate (RGR), relative consumption rate (RCR), assimilation
efficiency (AD), gross growth efficiency (ECI), and net growth efficiency (ECD). Significant differences between
the Quercus and Robinia populations were detected in pupal duration, RGR, RCR, and AD. The presence of a
significant population × host interaction in traits such as preadult viability, duration of pupal stage, RGR, and ECI
suggests that adaptation of the gypsy moth to the unsuitable host might be ongoing. Using a full-sib design, we
screened for genetic variation in life history traits within both populations, and examined the genetic correlations of
performance across oak and locust leaves within both populations. The genetic variances for analyzed life history
traits were lower under conditions that are commonly encountered in nature. Our data show that positive cross-host
genetic correlations preponderate within both populations.

AB  - Four types of laboratory populations of the bean weevil (Acanthoscelides obtectus) have been developed to study the effects of density‐dependent and age‐specific selection. These populations have been selected at high (K) and low larval densities (r) as well as for reproduction early (Y) and late (O) in life. The results presented here suggest that the r‐ and K‐populations (density‐dependent selection regimes) have differentiated from each other with respect to the following life‐history traits: egg‐to‐adult viability at high larval density (K > r), preadult developmental time (r > K), body weight (r > K), late fecundity (K > r), total realized fecundity (r > K), and longevity of males (r > K). It was also found that the following traits responded in statistically significant manner in populations subjected to different age‐specific selection regimes: egg‐to‐adult viability (O > Y), body weight (O > Y), early fecundity (Y > O), late fecundity (O > Y), and longevity of females and males (O > Y). Although several life‐history traits (viability, body weight, late fecundity) responded in similar manner to both density‐dependent and age‐specific selection regimes, it appears that underlying genetic and physiological mechanisms responsible for differentiation of the r/K and Y/O populations are different. We have also tested quantitative genetic basis of the bean weevil life‐history traits in the populations experiencing density‐dependent and age‐specific selection. Among the traits traded‐off within age‐specific selection regimes, only early fecundity showed directional dominance, whereas late fecundity and longevity data indicated additive inheritance. In contrast to age‐specific selecton regimes, three life‐history traits (developmental time, body size, total fecundity) in the density‐sependent regimes exhibited significant dominance effects. Lastly, we have tested the congruence between short‐term and long‐term effects of larval densities. The comparisons of the outcomes of the r/K selection regimes and those obtained from the low‐ and high‐larval densities revealed that there is no congruence between the selection results and phenotypic plasticity for the analyzed life‐history traits in the bean weevil.

Lastly, we have tested the congruence between short-term and long-term effects of larval densities. The comparisons of the outcomes of the r/K selection regimes and those obtained from the low- and high-larval densities revealed that there
is no congruence between the selection results and phenotypic plasticity for the analyzed life-history traits in the bean weevil.

abstract = "Four types of laboratory populations of the bean weevil (Acanthoscelides obtectus) have been developed
to study the effects of density-dependent and age-specific selection. These populations have been selected at high (K) and low larval densities (r) as well as for reproduction early (Y) and late (0) in life. The results presented here suggest that the r- and K-populations (density-dependents election regimes) have differentiated from each other with respect to the following life-history traits: egg-to-adult viability at high larval density (K > r), preadult developmental time (r > K), body weight (r > K), late fecundity (K > r), total realized fecundity (r > K), and longevity of males (r > K). It was also found that the following traits responded in statistically significant manner in populations subjected to different age-specific selection regimes: egg-to-adult viability (O > Y), body weight (O > Y), early fecundity( Y > 0), late fecundity (O > Y), and longevity of females and males (O > Y). Although several life-history traits (viability, body weight, late fecundity) responded in similar manner to both density-dependent and age-specific selection regimes, it appears that underlying genetic and physiological mechanisms responsible for differentiation of the r/K
and Y/O populations are different. We have also tested quantitative genetic basis of the bean weevil life-history traits in the populations experiencing density-dependent and age-specific selection. Among the traits traded-off within age specific selection regimes, only early fecundity showed directional dominance, whereas late fecundity and longevity data indicated additive inheritance. In contrast to age-specific selecton regimes, three life-history traits (developmental time, body size, total fecundity) in the density-sependent regimes exhibited significant dominance effects. Lastly, we have tested the congruence between short-term and long-term effects of larval densities.

AB  - In this study we examined the effects of long-term selection on early and late reproduction in the bean weevil. The pure lines and the hybrids between the lines within a selection regime were compared for longevity, early and late female fecundity, male mating ability, pre-adult developmental time and wet adult weight. Comparison of hybrid with pure lines provided some evidence for inbreeding despression in the lines from both selection regimes. We found that virgin and mated adults of both sexes from the “old” lines lived longer than “young” line beetles. Comparisons of the hybrid “young” with hybrid “old” lines revealed a trade-off between early and late fecundity of females. For noncompetitive mating ability of males there was no difference between the lines with different rates of senescence when the males were young. But, when the males were older, beetles from the lines selected for delayed senescence expressed superior mating ability. In addition, the “old” line beetles take longer to develop and are heavier than those from “young” line beetles. Although these data suggest that shorter pre-adult developmental time may imply more rapid senescence, there is the possibility of inadvertent selection for rapid development in the “young” lines and this complicates the interpretation of the observed trade-off between the pre-adult and adult performances.
