There is often large divergence in the effects of key nutrients on life span (LS) and
reproduction in the sexes, yet nutrient intake is regulated in the same way in males and …

Despite widespread variation in life span across species, three clear patterns exist: sex
differences in life span are ubiquitous, life span is commonly traded against reproduction …

As females and males have different roles in reproduction, they are expected to require
different nutrients for the expression of reproductive traits. However, due to their shared …

Diet affects both lifespan and reproduction [1–9], leading to the prediction that the
contrasting reproductive strategies of the sexes should result in sex-specific effects of …

Nutrition fundamentally affects life span and reproduction, and identifying how nutrient
intakes are linked to the expression of these life‐history traits can advance understanding of …

Sexual conflict results in a diversity of sex‐specific adaptations, including chemical additions
to ejaculates. Male decorated crickets (Gryllodes sigillatus) produce a gelatinous nuptial gift …

Life-history theory assumes that traits compete for limited resources, resulting in trade-offs.
The most commonly manipulated resource in empirical studies is the quantity or quality of …

The condition dependence of male sexual traits plays a central role in sexual selection
theory. Relatively little, however, is known about the condition dependence of chemical …

Differences in the ways in which males and females maximize evolutionary fitness can lead
to intra-locus sexual conflict in which genes delivering fitness benefits to one sex are costly …

Abstract Theory predicts that lifespan will depend on the dietary intake of an individual, the
allocation of resources towards reproduction and the costs imposed by the opposite sex …
