Body size evolution in an old insect order: No evidence for Cope's Rule in spite of fitness benefits of large size
JT Waller, EI Svensson - Evolution, 2017 - academic.oup.com
We integrate field data and phylogenetic comparative analyses to investigate causes of
body size evolution and stasis in an old insect order: odonates (“dragonflies and …

Natural selection mediated by seasonal time constraints increases the alignment between evolvability and developmental plasticity
Phenotypic plasticity can either hinder or promote adaptation to novel environments. Recent
studies that have quantified alignments between plasticity, genetic variation, and divergence …

Microgeographic differentiation in thermal performance curves between rural and urban populations of an aquatic insect
The rapidly increasing rate of urbanization has a major impact on the ecology and evolution
of species. While increased temperatures are a key aspect of urbanization (“urban heat …

Rapid larval development under time stress reduces adult life span through increasing oxidative damage
L Janssens, R Stoks - Functional Ecology, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
While a trade‐off between larval development and adult life span is key to understand why
not all animals develop at their maximum rate and why life histories align along a fast‐slow …

Microgeographic differentiation in thermal and antipredator responses and their carry-over effects across life stages in a damselfly
Global warming and invasive species, separately or combined, can impose a large impact
on the condition of native species. However, we know relatively little about how these two …

How is adaptive potential distributed within species ranges?
Quantitative genetic variation (QGV) represents a major component of adaptive potential
and, if reduced toward range-edge populations, could prevent a species' expansion or …

Warming and predation risk only weakly shape size-mediated priority effects in a cannibalistic damselfly
M Raczyński, R Stoks, S Sniegula - Scientific Reports, 2022 - nature.com
Differences in hatching dates can shape intraspecific interactions through size-mediated
priority effects (SMPE), a phenomenon where bigger, early hatched individuals gain …

Mixed support for an alignment between phenotypic plasticity and genetic differentiation in damselfly wing shape
The relationship between genetic differentiation and phenotypic plasticity can provide
information on whether plasticity generally facilitates or hinders adaptation to environmental …

Size‐mediated priority effects are trait‐dependent and consistent across latitudes in a damselfly
Variation in hatching time (phenology) might cause size differences within populations
resulting in size‐mediated priority effects (SMPEs) shaping intraspecific interactions. These …
