โœฆ Synopsis

Two Colorado populations of Pieris butterflies show a spectrum of larval growth responses to potential foodplant crucifer species growing in montane habitats. Analysis of larval growth responses to this array suggests potential selection for differential utilization of these species: 1) available crucifers vary considerably in the rates of larval survival and growth they support; 2) climatological factors favor larvae which develop rapidly. Food-related larval mortality and climatological factors may provide selection for utilization of crucifer species on which larvae develop rapidly.

The suitability of several Cruciferae species for the survival and development of the larvae of Anthocharis cardamines, which are seed and flower predators, was investigated. Large differences, consistent in time and space, were observed between the survival of sub-populations on different hostplant

The oviposition behaviour of the butterfly Anthocharis cardamines has been examined, using the methods of strong inference to investigate foodplant choice. Adaptive explanations for females ovipositing mainly on unshaded, young and large individuals of Alliaria petiolata are rejected in favour of ex
