The integration of research from developmental biology and ecology into evolutionary theory
has given rise to a relatively new field, ecological evolutionary developmental biology (Eco …

Insects, like all heterotrophic organisms, acquire from their food the nutrients that are
essential for anabolic processes that lead to growth (larval stages) or reproduction (adult …

Sex-specific trait expression is frequently associated with highly variable, condition-
dependent expression within sexes and rapid divergence among closely related species …

Evidence accumulates that the functional plasticity of insulin and insulin-like growth factor
signaling in insects could spring, among others, from the multiplicity of insulin receptors …

In insects and other animals, nutrition-mediated behaviors are modulated by communication
between the brain and peripheral systems, a process that relies heavily on the insulin/insulin …

All organisms are exposed to changes in their environment throughout their life cycle. When
confronted with these changes, they adjust their development and physiology to ensure that …

Phenotypic plasticity is thought to be an important driver of diversification and adaptation to
environmental variation, yet the genomic mechanisms mediating plastic trait development …

Sexually‐selected exaggerated traits tend to be unusually reliable signals of individual
condition, as their expression tends to be more sensitive to nutritional history and …

Bodies are often made of repeated units, or serial homologs, that develop using the same
core gene regulatory network. Local inputs and modifications to this network allow serial …

Male‐specific exaggerated horns are an evolutionary novelty and have diverged rapidly via
intrasexual selection. Here, we investigated the function of the conserved sex‐determination …
