摘要

Hormonal mechanisms underlie many life-history traits and their interactions. We studied the role of ecdysteroids with regard to wing pattern and development time of the polyphenic butterfly Bicyclus anynana. Ecdysteroid titers and sensitivity to ecdysone injection were assayed for two-trait selected lines ( ventral eyespot size and development time concurrently). These two traits are genetically and phenotypically coupled, having a common endocrinal basis. Two-trait selection had been applied both antagonistically ( opposite the correlation) and synergistically ( in the same direction as the correlation). Although selected lines had diverged most in eyespot size, the widest differences in timing of ecdysteroid titers were observed between the development time selection regimes; fast selected lines had an earlier hormonal increase after pupation than slow selected lines ( even when corrected for differential pupal times). This endocrine peak was also earlier for females than for males. Furthermore, sensitivity to ecdysone injection as measured by a subsequent decrease in pupal time was significantly lower for slow selected lines than for fast or unselected lines. We conclude that the observed response in eyespot size to artificial selection must have been achieved via alteration of, or selection on, other developmental mechanisms, because the dynamics of the alternative, hormonal, pathway were dictated by development time selection. The developmental system is flexible enough to allow evolution in directions opposing the correlation between wing pattern and developmental time, and responses to selection are not constrained by a shared hormonal system.
