Initiation of maternal effects in Lymantria dispar: Genetic and ecological components of egg provisioning
TL;DR: Results of a nested analysis of variance show that both genetics and parental nutritional experience make significant contributions to egg vitellogin levels, and shows that polyphagy can amplify phenotypic variance in reproductive traits through the interaction between genotype and nutritional environment.
