Evaluating species interactions as a driver of phytophagous insect divergence

B. A. S. de Medeiros, B. D. Farrell

The paper tests if antagonistic interactions between palms and their insect flower visitors drive higher genetic divergence in beetle populations, finding no significant correlation.

Repeated loss of variation in insect ovary morphology highlights the role of developmental constraint in life-history evolution

S. H. Church, B. A. S. de Medeiros, S. Donoughe…·C. G. Extavour

The paper examines the relationship between egg size and ovariole number in insects, finding a negative correlation that is not universal across all clades and highlighting the role of developmental constraints in shaping life-history traits.

Insect egg size and shape evolve with ecology, not developmental rate

S. H. Church, S. Donoughe, B. A. S. de Medeiros, C. G. Extavour

This study shows that insect egg size and shape evolve based on ecological factors like parasitism and oviposition, not developmental rate or body size.
