Approximately two decades after the first pioneering analyses, the study of shape asymmetry
with the methods of geometric morphometrics has matured and is a burgeoning field. New …

The origin of biological diversity, via the formation of new species, can be inextricably linked
to adaptation to the ecological environment. Specifically, ecological processes are central to …

Larvae of Hermetia illucens feed on different types of decomposing organic matter and their
development depends on the quality and quantity of food ingested. In this study the effect of …

Random and subtle deviations from bilateral symmetry (fluctuating asymmetry) have long
been of interest to biologists who wish to study the susceptibility of organisms to changes in …

High‐throughput transcriptome studies are breaking new ground to investigate the
responses that organisms deploy in alternative environments. Nevertheless, much remains …

Simple Summary The diverse components of any morphological structure are integrated
with respect to each other since they have developed, functioned, and evolved together, a …

Intralocus sexual conflict occurs when opposing selection pressures operate on loci
expressed in both sexes, constraining the evolution of sexual dimorphism and displacing …

The evolution of cactophily in the genus Drosophila was a major ecological transition
involving over a hundred species in the Americas that acquired the capacity to cope with a …

Host plant shifts in herbivorous insects often involve facing new environments that may
speed up the evolution of oviposition behavior, performance-related traits, morphology, and …

The invasive alien fruit pest Drosophila suzukii,(Matsumura 1931) causes economic loss in
soft‐skinned fruit production across Europe. After its first detection in 2008, the species has …
