The beetle family Chrysomelidae, commonly known as leaf beetles, includes over 37,000 (and probably at least 50,000) species in more than 2,500 genera, making it one of the largest and most commonly encountered of all beetle families. Numerous subfamilies are recognized, but the specifics of leaf beetle taxonomy and systematics are likely to change with ongoing research. Adult and larval leaf beetles feed on a variety of plant tissue, with some being specialists of particular species or families of plant.
Un effet maternel est un effet se manifestant lorsque le phénotype d’une mère affecte directement le phénotype de ses descendants et donc la valeur sélective (fitness) de celle-ci. Un gène à effet maternel s'exprime lors de l'ovogenèse. Ce type de gène est essentiellement connu par l'analyse du développement embryonnaire de Drosophila melanogaster (mouche du vinaigre) mais aussi de Danio rerio (poisson zèbre).
