Understanding the evolutionary origins and factors maintaining alternative life history
strategies (ALHS) within species is a major goal of evolutionary research. While alternative …

Rapid genitalia evolution is believed to be mainly driven by sexual selection. Recently,
noncopulatory genital functions have been suggested to exert stronger selection pressure …

Background Evolutionary processes can cause strong spatial genetic signatures, such as
local loss of genetic diversity, or conflicting histories from mitochondrial versus nuclear …

Sex-limited morphs can provide profound insights into the evolution and genomic
architecture of complex phenotypes. Inter-sexual mimicry is one particular type of sex-limited …

Ischnura senegalensis Rambur, 1842 is among the most widespread damselfly species in
the world. Unlike dragonflies with strong migration abilities, I. senegalensis have limited …

Odonata species display a remarkable diversity of colour patterns, including intrasexual
polymorphisms. In the damselfly (Ischnura senegalensis), the expression of a sex …

Despite the great technological progress that has aided taxonomical identification,
taxonomical issues remain for certain species found in remote and/or understudied …

One of the most evident sources of phenotypic diversity within a population is colouration, as
exemplified by colour polymorphism. This is relevant to a greater extent in animals with …

Alternative life-history strategies (ALHS) are genetic polymorphisms generating phenotypes
differing in life histories that generally arise due to metabolic resource allocation tradeoffs …
