The evolution of positive allometry and exaggerated traits in a diverse beetle clade
Functional Ecology, Volume 38, Issue 5, Page 1265-1283, May 2024.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding variation in trait allometry and the drivers of variation in sexually selected traits is a major theme in evolutionary biology. The static allometries of sexually selected traits are often positive due to disproportional investment by large individuals ...

Pest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 4, Page 1692-1701, April 2024.Pepper weevil were treated with gamma radiation at the pupal stage to investigate its impact on reproduction and quality. Male and female pepper weevils irradiated with 110 Gy as late‐stage pupae were effectively sterilized and also had decreased fecundity, longevity and spontaneous flight activity.
