I heard there are butterfly forms that live longer than the „usual“ individual similar to a bee queen. Like a special form for long travel distances . My questions are:
What are the main triggers for the adaptation?
Can a specimen have more that two adaptive variations? (Are there general terms for forms with certain specialization?)
Do variation have a lot of drawbacks? Are they trading different aspects of they fitness or do they produce “super forms” depending on resources?
