Hormones are key factors in determining the response of organisms to their environment.
For example, the juvenile hormone (JH) coordinates the insects' development, reproduction …

Life-history theory predicts that increased investment in traits related to reproduction will be
associated with a reduced ability to invest in survival or longevity. One mechanistic …

Stress is a widespread phenomenon that all organisms must endure. Common in nature is
oxidative stress, which can interrupt cell homeostasis to cause cell damage and may be …

In the terminal investment strategy, organisms allocate resources to maximize current
reproduction when their future reproductive opportunities are uncertain due to a high risk of …

Life on Earth is astonishingly rich. It comes in many shapes, sizes, and colourations, but also
countless behaviours and molecules. Why is our planet full of life? What are the sources of …

Male mating signals are sexual traits that may provide females with information about the
physiological quality of the individual. Males of the yellow mealworm beetle, Tenebrio …

The process of lifetime progressive deterioration in cellular function and organismal
performance is what we usually call ageing. Cellular senescence is a form of stable cell …

Before a population becomes extinct, there are hidden costs in the physiology at the
individual level that provide valuable insights into their condition. Here, we study two dams …
