Abstract
â¶ Maintenance costs are unknown in aphid wing polyphenism. â¶ Wingless aphids are bigger than wingless aphids independently of plant defences. â¶ Metabolic rates depend on wing condition and plant defences. â¶ Differential costs between morphs occur during developmental stage. â¶ Non-clear differences in maintenance costs propose environmental-depending costs.
