Mapping sex differences in the effects of protein and carbohydrates on lifespan and reproduction in Drosophila melanogaster: is measuring nutrient intake essential?
Understanding how diet affects reproduction and survival is a central aim in evolutionary
biology. Although this relationship is likely to differ between the sexes, we lack data relating …

[HTML][HTML] Ovarian apoptosis is regulated by carbohydrate intake but not by protein intake in speckled cockroaches
When the likelihood of reproducing successfully is low, any prior investment in developing
oocytes may be wasted. One means of recouping this investment is oosorption–where ova …

Sex differences in nutrient intake can reduce the potential for sexual conflict over fitness maximization by female and male crickets: NG et al.
As females and males have different roles in reproduction, they are expected to require
different nutrients for the expression of reproductive traits. However, due to their shared …

Oxidative Damage Is Influenced by Diet But Unaffected by Selection for Early Age of Oviposition in the Marula Fly, Ceratitis cosyra (Diptera: Tephritidae)
The expression of life-history traits, such as lifespan or reproductive effort, is tightly
correlated with the amount and blend of macronutrients that individuals consume. In a range …

Antioxidant capacity is repeatable across years but does not consistently correlate with a marker of peroxidation in a free-living passerine bird
Oxidative stress occurs when reactive oxygen species (ROS) exceed antioxidant defences,
which can have deleterious effects on cell function, health and survival. Therefore …
