Until now, the question of whether diversification of these strategies might impact the way communities are organized has not been considered. Here, we suggest that diversified resource allocation strategies among competing species may contribute to their coexistence. We examined this hypothesis by focusing on communities composed of four phytophagous insect species that coexist and compete for egg-laying sites. From wild-caught females, we determined precisely the breeding period of each species and we described their resource acquisition and allocation to reproduction dynamics. We quantified in each species the total amount of larval energy stored by newly-emerging females and then monitored the total energy budget of females caught in the field before and throughout their breeding period. We found that the four sibling weevil species are markedly segregated along the income-capital-breeding continuum, which is correlated with clear time partitioning in their laying activity. Our results suggest that diversified resource allocation strategies might contribute to time partitioning of plant resources exploitation and thus indirectly to their coexistence. This work should further encourage studies examining the extent to which competitive coexistence might be affected by diversification of income-capital breeding strategies together with the intensity of interspecific competition, and considering the divergent evolution of these strategies.</p></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Van

The corresponding strategies of energy Acquisition and Allocation to Reproduction (AAR) have been empirically shown to vary considerably across species within the animal and vegetal kingdoms (see <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref> for a review). These strategies can be pinpointed along a continuum extending from strict capital breeding, with females storing nutrients prior breeding <italic>sensus</italic> Jervis [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>], up to strict income breeding, where oogenesis is fueled by energy gained concomitantly [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref>].</p><p>AAR strategies have been explored at various organization levels, from underlying molecular processes (<italic>eg.</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">12</xref>]) to population dynamic consequences (see <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref> for a synthesis). For example, they are involved in animal behaviors [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref>] and they were shown to be correlated with the eruptive and cyclic population dynamics among <named-content content-type="order">Lepidoptera</named-content> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">13</xref>]. Yet, their implications at the community level have received much less attention so far. In a given environment, an optimal pattern of resource acquisition and allocation to reproduction is often expected [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref>]; contrary to this view, we suggest that species competing for a single resource may diversify their AAR strategies along an income-capital gradient in a way that favor niche-partitioning and thus their coexistence. Due to the lack of empirical data available to explore this hypothesis, we identified whether sibling species competing with each other for the same resource occupied contrasted positions along the income-capital breeding continuum and whether this could be correlated to their reproduction period partitioning.</p><p>We focused on insect communities composed of four weevil species - <italic>Curculio glandium</italic> (Marsham), <named-content content-type="genus-species"><named-content content-type="genus">C</named-content><italic>. <named-content content-type="species">elephas</named-content></italic></named-content> (Gyllenhal), <named-content content-type="genus-species"><named-content content-type="genus">C</named-content><italic>. <named-content content-type="species">pellitus</named-content></italic></named-content> (Boheman), and <named-content content-type="genus-species"><named-content content-type="genus">C</named-content><italic>. <named-content content-type="species">venosus</named-content></italic></named-content> (Gravenhorst) (<named-content content-type="order">Coleoptera</named-content>, <italic><named-content content-type="family">Curculionidae</named-content></italic>), that are specialized on oak trees (<named-content content-type="genus-species"><named-content content-type="genus">Quercus</named-content> spp.</named-content>). These species coexist on the same individual host plants [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">14</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">17</xref>], where they compete for the use of oak acorns as their unique egg-laying sites [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">18</xref>]. From early June to the end of summer, weevil females deposit eggs into oak acorns where larvae complete their development before burrowing into the soil and entering in winter diapause. Because oak trees are known to be “mast-seed” species (i.e., they produce seeds massively but intermittently from one year to another [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">19</xref>]), the number of egg-laying sites available for the four weevil species varies considerably and, to some extent, unpredictably across years. In addition, the resource availability also varies during the breeding season of insects due to the well-described massive abortion of both flowers and undeveloped fruits occurring in mid-summer (e.g. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">20</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B22">22</xref>]).</p><p>In such unpredictable and competitive environment, stable coexistence of the four weevil species studied seems to be ensured by a temporal partitioning of the plant resource use. This is allowed by marked differences observed both in insect dormancy capacities and their laying period during the reproductive period [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">18</xref>]. Within-year partitioning is generally expected to favor species coexistence since differences in the timing of resource consumption is one requirement of the storage effect [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23">23</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B24">24</xref>]. More specifically, in the studied system, because the limiting resource (oak acorns) fluctuates both across and within years, time partitioning of the resource use during the insect reproduction period is expected to significantly impact the community structure [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">18</xref>]. On one hand, early-laying species should be advantaged compared with late-laying species (especially when competition is severe) because they have prior access to oak acorns. On the other hand, due to their ability to lay eggs in already mature and unparasitized acorns, species laying eggs later in the season might exploit fruits more efficiently than early-emerging species. Species laying late in the season would therefore have an advantage over early-laying species under weak competition for acorns (e.g., years with large seed crop and low density of breeding adults). Accordingly, variations in plant resource availability induce various levels of competition that should favor consecutively each insect species due to their oviposition time partitioning [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23">23</xref>]. In this study, we suggest that such partitioning of resource use during the insect reproductive season is linked to distinct AAR strategies between the four insect species, which would be characterized by different positions along the income-capital breeding continuum.</p><p>In a previous study, two main types of energy strategies have been identified amongst the oak weevil species studied based on whether newly-emerging females had mature oocytes and on whether weevils consumed food at adulthood [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B25">25</xref>].

To detect a possible diversification of energy strategies displayed by these competing species, we developed a finely-tuned quantitative field study to monitor their lifetime energy dynamics in these four species. Accordingly, for each species we measured the total amount of energy in female at emergence and in females caught later in the field throughout their adult life. We determined for each species the egg-laying period and the lifetime kinetics of reproductive investment of females to finely connect the within-year partitioning of plant resource use observed between the four species to the strategies of energy acquisition and allocation to reproduction.</p></sec><sec sec-type="materials|methods" id="s2"><title>Materials and Methods</title><p>Female insects belonging to the four weevil species were surveyed and sampled in two independent communities, each of these being located on an isolated oak tree: the two ~150-200 year-old trees are 30 km apart from each other in a fragmented, agricultural landscape near Lyon (France) (site A (<named-content content-type="genus-species"><named-content content-type="genus">Quercus</named-content><italic><named-content content-type="species">robur</named-content></italic></named-content>): N45° 35′; E5° 01′; site B (<named-content content-type="genus-species"><named-content content-type="genus">Q</named-content><italic>. <named-content content-type="species">petraea</named-content></italic></named-content>): N45° 45′; E5° 16′; see <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">18</xref> for details).</p><sec id="s2.1"><title>Ethics statements</title><p>This study was carried out on private lands, and we confirm that the landowners gave us permission to conduct this study.

To obtain such females, we initially harvested mature acorns that had dropped onto a net placed on the ground at the base of each of the two trees and covering half the surface of their vegetal cover. The fruits were counted and then placed in wire-netting boxes in an outdoor arena that allowed us to collect and count all the mature weevil larvae that freely extracted from the acorns. Mature larvae were collected on the day they left the fruit, which occurs yearly from September to December. Each of these larvae was randomly assigned to one of several covered, water-permeable plastic receptacles that had previously been filled with sifted soil and buried under each host tree. This operation was repeated during four consecutive years (from 2005 to 2008), with larvae being assigned each year to new, virgin receptacles in order to know the number of years each larva spent underground (from one to three years, depending on the species [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">18</xref>]). Each receptacle therefore allowed larvae from a known cohort and tree to pursue its development in confined, semi-natural conditions until the adults emerged. In 2009 we surveyed adult emergence in 46 such receptacles on a weekly basis from early March to end of September. As soon as the first adult emerged in any of the receptacles, we started a daily survey and collected all adults until none emerged in any of the devices for at least eight consecutive days. For the purpose of this study, we collected 61 females within three hours after emergence (12 <named-content content-type="genus-species"><named-content content-type="genus">C</named-content><italic>. <named-content content-type="species">venosus</named-content></italic></named-content> (8 and 4 at the sites A and B, respectively), 13 <named-content content-type="genus-species"><named-content content-type="genus">C</named-content><italic>. <named-content content-type="species">pellitus</named-content></italic></named-content> (7 and 6), 20 <named-content content-type="genus-species"><named-content content-type="genus">C</named-content><italic>. <named-content content-type="species">glandium</named-content></italic></named-content> (11 and 9), and 16 <named-content content-type="genus-species"><named-content content-type="genus">C</named-content><italic>. <named-content content-type="species">elephas</named-content></italic></named-content> (8 and 8)).</p><p>The same year, we also “live-trapped” weevil females that were naturally present on oak trees, regularly throughout the breeding season.

This sampling was conducted weekly in the two insect communities from adult emergence (April) until no adult was found on either tree at two consecutive sampling sessions (mid-October). To ensure a consistent sampling effort throughout the sessions, 6 and 7 branches were randomly selected on trees A and B, respectively, and were consistently shaken with the same number of beats early in the day (see detailed method in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">18</xref>]).

We detected a second phase following mating, with total energy decreasing simultaneously to increasing effort toward egg production (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0076086-g001">Figure 1</xref>; panels 1-3). Although similar patterns of seasonal dynamic of energy acquisition were found among the three species, between-species differences occurred in the time that elapsed between female emergence and initiation of oogenesis, which provides the species with distinct positions along the capital-income breeding continuum. Hence, <named-content content-type="genus-species"><named-content content-type="genus">C</named-content><italic>. <named-content content-type="species">venosus</named-content></italic></named-content> females exhibited an income breeder-like strategy since they first showed rapid net energy gain and then soon started maturing eggs while still accumulating energy (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0076086-g001">Figure 1</xref>; panels A1, B1).

In this field study, we described the lifetime energy budget of four weevil species that belong to the same communities and compete for the same and fluctuating egg-laying sites (oak acorns). We monitored wild-caught females for the seasonal dynamics of their nutrient reserves in connection with their ovarian development. Contrary to what is classically expected, we found evidence that four weevil sibling species belonging to the same communities differentially acquired energy and allocated it toward breeding. As a consequence these four species could be clearly discriminated along an income-capital breeder axis, which could be linked with the seasonal partitioning of the plant resource use during the insect reproductive season.</p><p><named-content content-type="genus-species"><named-content content-type="genus">C</named-content><italic>. <named-content content-type="species">venosus</named-content></italic></named-content> appears to be the most extreme income breeder of the four species, since young females started investing energy early in the breeding season and thus, laid eggs concurrently with energy gain (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0076086-g001">Figure 1</xref>, <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="pone.0076086.s002">Figure S2</xref>).

This ensures females prior access to the resource and may enable them to find sufficient acorns locally even on years when the resource is scarce. However, since <named-content content-type="genus-species"><named-content content-type="genus">C</named-content><italic>. <named-content content-type="species">venosus</named-content></italic></named-content> eggs are laid before flower abortion in July [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B22">22</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B30">30</xref>], this may entails fitness costs either due to the elevated risk of larval development failure if females lay their eggs indiscriminately into acorns that may later abort, or due to the waste of time and energy that they would spend discriminating and selecting safe –fertilized- oak acorns for egg laying.</p><p>Analyzing the seasonal dynamics of their energy budget reveals that <named-content content-type="genus-species"><named-content content-type="genus">C</named-content><italic>. <named-content content-type="species">pellitus</named-content></italic></named-content> and <named-content content-type="genus-species"><named-content content-type="genus">C</named-content><italic>. <named-content content-type="species">glandium</named-content></italic></named-content> females are both capital breeders since adult females first stored energy before starting maturing eggs (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0076086-g001">Figure 1</xref>; panels B2, B3). Without accounting for this seasonal dynamic, these two species would have erroneously been assigned to income breeders owing to the adult origin of the energy required for breeding [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B25">25</xref>]. None of these two species have matured eggs upon emergence in early spring (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0076086-g001">Figure 1</xref> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B25">25</xref>]), before any oak acorn can be fertilized [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B31">31</xref>].

We further showed that these two species exhibited time partitioning in their breeding activity within the season (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0076086-g002">Figure 2</xref>): <named-content content-type="genus-species"><named-content content-type="genus">C</named-content><italic>. <named-content content-type="species">pellitus</named-content></italic></named-content> females acquired energy and allocated it to reproduction faster than <named-content content-type="genus-species"><named-content content-type="genus">C</named-content><italic>. <named-content content-type="species">glandium</named-content></italic></named-content>, and were thus able to use oak acorns earlier in the season.

However, we were able to detect few females that experienced a net energy gain early in the breeding season (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0076086-g001">Figure 1</xref>, panels B4, <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="pone.0076086.s003">Figure S3</xref>). Yet, even if food intake occurs during adulthood, the nutrients ingested might not necessarily be allocated to reproduction [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B25">25</xref>] and further work is needed to understand the issue of such food intake by a minority of adults in this species. <named-content content-type="genus-species"><named-content content-type="genus">C</named-content><italic>. <named-content content-type="species">elephas</named-content></italic></named-content> is nevertheless the latest weevil species exploiting oak acorns in the breeding season. This strategy would be adaptive whenever the breeding efficiency of females on mast-seed years (i.e., when egg-laying sites are highly abundant locally) outweigh their inability to reallocate energy in flexible manner (e.g., toward either breeding or adult maintenance) the years with low fruit availability.</p><p>Our result suggest that the contrasted AAR strategies observed might underlie time partitioning in the breeding activity and thus, would most likely contribute to sustain the storage effect in communities of insect species competing for oak acorns, which effect is expected to promote their coexistence [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">13</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23">23</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B24">24</xref>]. Alternately, it cannot be ruled out that interspecific competition would have directly promoted temporal niche partitioning that, in turn, would have favoured diversification of traits, among which AAR strategies, in a way that maximizes the lifetime reproductive success of insects in their specific breeding period. While it is too early to conclude which of the two mechanisms is the right one, our correlative study is the first to consider the possibility for AAR strategies diversification to be involved in the coexistence of competing species and to gather empirical data compatible with this hypothesis. Indeed, numerous empirical studies made on plants, vertebrates or insects have reported a large array of strategies along a continuum extending from pure income to pure capital breeding [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B32">32</xref>]. Positioning of a species along this continuum is usually considered to depend on the internal status of targeted organisms, on the nutrient type considered, and on the degree of predictability of the resource in the environment [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B33">33</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B34">34</xref>]. In parallel, several studies disconnected with the community ecology literature reported different AAR strategies developed by species at the same trophic level and living sympatrically such as plants (e.g. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B35">35</xref>]) or animals (birds (<italic>e.g</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B36">36</xref>]), mammals (<italic>e.g</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B37">37</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B38">38</xref>]) and insects (<italic>e.g</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B27">27</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B39">39</xref>]). Intriguingly, none of these studies investigated whether these species actually competed with each other or considered the possible impact of their strategies on community assembly. The extent to which AAR strategies are diversified would greatly depend not only on environmental variability, but also on the competition strength between the coexisting species. Unlike the classical theory that predicts a unique, optimal strategy in a given environment, we suggest that disturbed environments may promote the diversification of AAR strategies among competing species which in turn may favor their stable coexistence. Our work should therefore encourage further studies providing empirical evidence of the impact of income-capital breeding strategies at the community level.</p></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material"><title>Supporting Information</title><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="pone.0076086.s001"><label>Figure S1</label><caption><p><bold>Total energy budget of the four Curculio species.</bold>Total amount of energy stored in newly-emerged (grey bars) and lived-trapped breeding (white bars) females of the four Curculio species.
