Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) can vary drastically across environments, demonstrating
pronounced sex‐specific plasticity. In insects, females are usually the larger and more …

ABSTRACT (239 words) Ambient temperature strongly determines the behaviour,
physiology, and life history of all organisms. The technical assessment of organismal …

Abstract Theory predicts the emergence of generalists in variable environments and
antagonistic pleiotropy to favour specialists in constant environments, but empirical data …

Abstract Development of ectotherms is highly temperature dependent. Studies using
variable thermal environments can improve ecological relevance of data because …

Variation in female reproductive morphology may play a decisive role in reproductive
isolation by affecting the relative fertilization success of alternative male phenotypes. Yet …

Simple Summary The prestomal teeth are structures on the mouthparts of some fly species
that rasp surfaces to expose liquids for ingestion. Here, we investigated the material …

Thermal tolerance varies at all hierarchical levels of biological organization: among species,
populations, individuals, and even within individuals. Age-or developmental stage-and sex …

The insecticidal properties of many anthelmintics pose a risk to dung fauna through the
effects of drug residues in dung on the activity, oviposition and development of dung …

Ultimate factors driving insect body size are rather well understood, while—apart from a few
model species—the underlying physiological and developmental mechanisms received less …
