ABSTRACT A central question in ecology and evolution is to understand why sexual
selection varies so much in strength across taxa; it has long been known that ecological …

Ongoing anthropogenic climate change has increased attention on the ecological and
evolutionary consequences of thermal variation. Most research in this field has focused on …

Climate change is affecting biodiversity, but proximate drivers remain poorly understood.
Here, we examine how experimental heatwaves impact on reproduction in an insect system …

All species need to reproduce to maintain viable populations, but heat stress kills sperm
cells across the animal kingdom and rising frequencies of heat waves are a threat to …

Heatwaves are occurring at an increasing frequency and intensity under ongoing climate
change. As many reproductive traits—including mating behaviour and gamete traits—are …

Despite serving the primary objective of ensuring that at least one sperm cell reaches and
fertilises an ovum, the male ejaculate (ie spermatozoa and seminal fluid) is a …

In light of global climate change, there is a pressing need to understand how populations
will respond to rising temperatures. Understanding the effects of temperature changes on …

Background Although in all sexually reproducing organisms an individual has a mother and
a father, non-genetic inheritance has been predominantly studied in mothers. Paternal …

Global declines in insect abundance are of significant concern. While there is evidence that
climate change is contributing to insect declines, we know little of the direct mechanisms …

Extreme temperature events, such as heat waves, can have lasting effects on the behavior,
physiology, and reproductive success of organisms. Here, we examine the impact of short …
