Sex differences in aging occur in many animal species, and they include sex differences in
lifespan, in the onset and progression of age‐associated decline, and in physiological and …

Fitness consequences of early‐life environmental conditions are often sex‐specific, but
corresponding evidence for invertebrates remains inconclusive. Here, we use meta‐analysis …

The degree to which developmental biases affect trait evolution is subject to much debate.
Here, we first quantify fluctuating asymmetry as a measure of developmental variability, ie …

Conspecific females and males often follow different development trajectories which leads to
sex differences in age at maturity (sexual bimaturism, SBM). Whether SBM is typically …

In a rapidly changing environment, does sexual selection on males elevate a population's
reproductive output? If so, does phenotypic plasticity enhance or diminish any such effect …

Plastic responses to environmental conditions may themselves depend on other
environmental conditions, but how such environment-by-environment (E× E) interactions …

Many organisms actively manipulate the environment in ways that feed back on their own
development, a process referred to as developmental niche construction. Yet, the role that …

Sexual selection can displace traits acting as ornaments or armaments from their viability
optimum in one sex, ultimately giving rise to sexual dimorphism. The degree of dimorphism …

Sexual‐size dimorphism (SSD) is ubiquitous across animals and often biased in the
direction of larger females in snakes and other ectothermic organisms. To understand how …

Context-dependent trait exaggeration is a major contributor to phenotypic diversity.
However, the genetic modifiers instructing development across multiple contexts remain …
