Abstract. Sexual conflict frequently gives rise to adaptations that increase male reproductive success at the expense of harming females (“male harm”) and

Behavioural plasticity can play a key role in evolution by either facilitating or impeding genetic adaptation. The latter occurs when behaviours mitigate selection pressures that otherwise would targe...

Many organisms escape from lethal climatological conditions by entering a resistant resting stage called diapause, which needs to be optimally timed with seasonal change. As climate change exerts sel...

Climate adaptation in insects can proceed via responses in life-history traits and their thermal plasticity and through phenological shifts mediated by responses to photoperiodic cues (photoperiodism)...

A post-doctoral Researcher position is available at the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences, University of Jyväskylä, Finland, in the group of Dr. Suvi Ruuskanen. The post-doctoral res...

Abstract. Reproduction is a fundamental aspect of life that affects all levels of biology, from genomes and development to population dynamics and diversif

Come join our EU cephalopod consortium to discover how octopuses and other coleoids developed their large nervous system. Postdoc position available in the Seuntjens Lab in Leuven, Belgium.

Experimental evolution of seed beetles under hot and cold temperatures indicates limited repeatability of the genomic change underlying heat adaptation across populations, which has implications for p...

The authors compare genomic and phenotypic changes between genetic backgrounds of seed beetles evolved at hot or cold temperatures. Despite phenotypic changes being more rapid and predictable at hot t...

Globally, rising temperatures are increasingly favoring warm-affiliated species. Although changes in community composition are typically measured b...

Abstract. Scientific and public interest in the global status of insects has surged recently; however, understanding the relative importance of different s

Abstract. Haldane's Dilemma refers to the concern that the need for many “selective deaths” to complete a substitution (i.e. selective sweep) creates a spe

Traits that affect organismal fitness are often very genetically variable. This genetic variation is vital for populations to adapt to their environments, but it is also surprising given that nature (...

Life at all scales is surprisingly effective at exploiting new opportunities, as demonstrated by the rapid emergence of antimicrobial resistance an...

Although variation in effect sizes and predicted values among studies of similar phenomena is inevitable, such variation far exceeds what might be produced by sampling error alone. One possible explan...

We found that reducing insulin signalling in adult worms slows down their reproductive ageing and extends their lifespan without negative side effects. Moreover, combining it with IF further enhances....

Nature Ecology & Evolution - Analysing wing shapes within and across distantly related dipteran lineages, the authors show that intrapopulation variation reflecting microevolutionary change can...
