ABSTRACT A common, long‐held belief is that metabolic rate drives the rates of various
biological, ecological and evolutionary processes. Although this metabolic pacemaker view …

Coevolutionary selection is a powerful process sha** species interactions and
biodiversity. Anthropogenic global environmental change is resha** planetary …

Climate change is affecting population growth rates of ectothermic pests with potentially dire
consequences for agriculture and global food security. However, current projection models …

The seasonal cycle varies geographically and organisms are under selection to express life
cycles that optimally exploit their spatiotemporal habitats. In insects, this often means …

Intralocus sexual conflict (IaSC) is pervasive because males and females experience
differences in selection but share much of the same genome. Traits with integrated genetic …

Evolutionary theory predicts that the process of range expansion will lead to differences in
life‐history and dispersal traits between the core and edge of a population. At the edge …

Species interacting in varied ecological conditions often evolve in different directions in
different local populations. The butterflies of the cryptic Leptidea complex are sympatrically …

Evolutionary change requires genetic variation, and a reigning paradigm in biology is that
rates of microevolution can be predicted from estimates of available genetic variation within …

Simple Summary It is the first investigation of drosophilid seasonal population changes
considering their biotope association, abundance and species diversity in European Russia …

Sexual selection can promote adaptation if sexually selected traits are reliable indicators of
genetic quality. Moreover, models of good genes sexual selection suggest that, by operating …
