Same-sex sexual behaviour (SSB) has been recorded in over 1,500 animal species with a
widespread distribution across most major clades. Evolutionary biologists have long sought …

Flour beetles of the genus Tribolium have been utilised as informative study systems for over
a century and contributed to major advances across many fields. This review serves to …

Climate change is affecting biodiversity, but proximate drivers remain poorly understood.
Here, we examine how experimental heatwaves impact on reproduction in an insect system …

With climate change creating a more volatile atmosphere, heatwaves that create thermal
stress for living systems will become stronger and more frequent. Using the flour beetle …

Reproductive interference (costly interspecific sexual interactions) is well‐understood to
promote divergence in mating‐relevant traits (ie reproductive character displacement: RCD) …

The widespread presence of same-sex sexual behaviour (SSB) has long been thought to
pose an evolutionary conundrum, as participants in SSB suffer the cost of failing to …

Males and females rarely express the same length of life. Here, we studied how sociosexual
exposure shapes male and female age-specific mortality rates in Drosophila melanogaster …

Same-sex sexual behaviour (SSB) occurs in many animals and is often treated as an
anomaly requiring special explanation. One common explanation for SSB is mistaken …

Mating type (sex) plays a crucial role in regulating sexual reproduction in most extant
eukaryotes. One of the functions of mating types is ensuring self-incompatibility to some …

Aggressive behaviour is thought to have significant consequences for fitness, sexual
selection and the evolution of social interactions, but studies measuring its expression …
