Recently, the incidence of heat-related illnesses has exhibited a steadily upward trend,
closely associated with several environmental factors such as climate change and air …

Understanding the impact of demographic and ecological factors on the strength of sexual
selection is pivotal to predict eco‐evolutionary dynamics in populations facing …

Environmental factors can have profound effects on the strength and direction of selection
and recent studies suggest that such environment‐dependent selection can be sex‐specific …

Postcopulatory sexual selection (PCSS), namely sperm competition and cryptic female
choice, is typically investigated in benign environments, with a fixed number of partners …

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

Sexual selection and the evolution of costly mating strategies can negatively impact
population viability and adaptive potential. While laboratory studies have documented …

Climate change models predict that the frequency and intensity of heatwaves are likely to
increase, therefore understanding population responses to these extreme climatic events …

Highlights•Male dragonflies showed a trade-off between mating and thermoregulation.•
Mating effort decreased with increasing temperature.•Thermoregulatory behaviour …

Sexual selection, one of the central pillars of evolutionary theory, has powerful effects on
organismal morphology, behaviour and population dynamics. However, current knowledge …

Insects are amongst the organisms most affected by rising temperatures, due to negative
repercussions on life-history traits and, consequently, on population persistence. In many …
