The multifaceted effects of starvation on arthropod behaviour

I Scharf - Animal Behaviour, 2016‏ - Elsevier
Starvation is defined as a failure to consume food following an extrinsic limitation. By
focusing on arthropods, I provide here a detailed review of how starvation affects foraging …

Same-sex sexual behavior in insects and arachnids: prevalence, causes, and consequences

I Scharf, OY Martin - Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2013‏ - Springer
Same-sex sexual (SSS) behavior represents an evolutionary puzzle: whilst associated costs
seem obvious, positive contributions to fitness remain unclear. Various adaptive …
