glucosinolates
Secondary metabolites that mediate interactions with herbivores and pathogens in Brassicaceae
Larval survival rate
light environment
Photosynthetically active radiation levels measured as percentage of full-sun radiation
population structure
The organization of genetic variation within and among populations, reflecting patterns of gene flow, drift, and selection
wing coloration
The color patterns and hues on butterfly wings produced by interaction of light with pigments on the wing scales
chromatic contrast
Color-based visual contrast as perceived by animal visual systems
thermal performance curve
Temperature dependence of larval feeding rate, characterized by maximum feeding rate, optimal temperature, and thermal sensitivity parameters
BC-ratio
The proportion of aliphatic GS derived from branched-chain amino acid (Val and Ile) precursors, representing quantitative trait variation controlled by known biosynthetic locus
differential gene expression
Genes that show significantly different expression levels between treatment conditions
emergence success
heat shock proteins
Molecular chaperones that help cells cope with protein folding stress under adverse conditions
matrix resistance
The relative difficulty of movement through different types of non-habitat matrix surrounding habitat patches
metabolic flight capacity
Peak metabolic rate and total energy expenditure during forced flight as measures of dispersal ability
