The sexes show profound differences in responses to infection and the development of
autoimmunity. Dimorphisms in immune responses are ubiquitous across taxa, from …

Several studies have been published introducing Drosophila melanogaster as a research
model to investigate the effects of high-calorie diets on metabolic dysfunctions. However …

Sex differences in selection arise for at least two possible reasons:(1) differences originating
from anisogamy—the Darwin-Bateman paradigm—and (2) competition-driven ecological …

Males and females typically pursue divergent reproductive strategies and accordingly
require different dietary compositions to maximise their fitness. Here we move from …

Nutrient-dependent body size plasticity differs between the sexes in most species, including
mammals. Previous work in Drosophila showed that body size plasticity was higher in …

Ongoing climate change has forced animals to face changing thermal and nutritional
environments. Animals can adjust to such combinations of stressors via plasticity. Body size …

Nutritional variation across the lifetime can have significant and sex-specific impacts on
fitness. Using Drosophila melanogaster, we measured these impacts by testing the effects …

Animals adjust resource acquisition throughout life to meet changing physiological demands
of growth, reproduction, activity and somatic maintenance. Wing-polymorphic crickets invest …

Mating causes many changes in physiology, behavior, and gene expression in a wide range
of organisms. These changes are predicted to be sex specific, influenced by the divergent …
