We follow an adult Drosophila melanogaster female through the major reproductive
decisions she makes during her lifetime, including habitat selection, precopulatory mate …

Considerable evidence exists for local adaptation of critical thermal limits in ectotherms
following adult temperature stress, but fewer studies have tested for local adaptation of …

Current rising temperatures are threatening biodiversity. It is therefore crucial to understand
how climate change impacts male and female fertility and whether evolutionary responses …

Highlights•Insect control techniques are rapidly expanding, including novel genomic
tools.•Many techniques target reproduction by releasing males with manipulated …

Infertility is common in nature despite its obvious cost to individual fitness. Rising global
temperatures are predicted to decrease fertility, and male sterility is frequently used in …

X chromosome meiotic drive (XCMD) kills Y‐bearing sperm during spermatogenesis,
leading to the biased transmission of the selfish X chromosome. Despite this strong …

Different patterns of sperm precedence are expected to entail different costs and benefits of
mating for each sex that translate into distinct predictions regarding mating system evolution …

Understanding how heatwaves impact on different aspects of mating behaviour and fertility
is getting increasingly important. In this context, laboratory fertility and mating experiments …

Background The negative impacts of climate change on biodiversity are consistently
increasing. Developmental stages are particularly sensitive in many ectotherms. Moreover …

Human-induced climate change is leading to higher average global temperatures and
increasingly extreme weather events. High temperatures can have obvious effects on animal …
