Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) can vary drastically across environments, demonstrating
pronounced sex‐specific plasticity. In insects, females are usually the larger and more …

Thermal performance curves (TPCs) have been estimated in multiple ectotherm species to
understand their thermal plasticity and adaptation and to predict the effect of global warming …

Although the potential to adapt to warmer climate is constrained by genetic trade-offs, our
understanding of how selection and mutation shape genetic (co) variances in thermal …

Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) arises when the net effects of natural and sexual selection on
body size differ between the sexes. Quantitative SSD variation between taxa is common, but …

The fecundity‐advantage hypothesis (FAH) explains larger female size relative to male size
as a correlated response to fecundity selection. We explored FAH by investigating …

Few disciplines in science are as obsessed with 'going digital'as taxonomy. This is not
surprising given that 'taxonomy is made for the web: it is an information-rich subject, often …

Sexual selection can displace traits acting as ornaments or armaments from their viability
optimum in one sex, ultimately giving rise to sexual dimorphism. The degree of dimorphism …

Abstract Theory predicts the emergence of generalists in variable environments and
antagonistic pleiotropy to favour specialists in constant environments, but empirical data …

Extreme weather events such as heat waves are becoming more frequent and intense.
Populations can cope with elevated heat stress by evolving higher basal heat tolerance …

Abstract Theory predicts that males have a limited amount of resources to invest in
reproduction, suggesting a trade‐off between traits that enhance mate acquisition and those …
