effects on male and female fitness. Typically, it is assumed that loci involved in IRSC have …

Almost all life on earth is facing environmental change, and understanding how populations
will respond to these changes is of urgent importance. One factor that is known to affect the …

Environmental variation often induces plastic responses in organisms that can trigger
changes in subsequent generations through non-genetic inheritance mechanisms. Such …

Whether sexual selection facilitates or hampers the ability to plastically respond to novel
environments might depend on population structure, via its effects on sexual interactions …
