The paper examines the fitness consequences of same-sex sexual behavior in burying beetles, finding it reduces reproductive success but decreases aggression.

This study shows that heatwaves reduce carrion beetle impacts on nutrient cycling by altering their behavior and reproduction, highlighting indirect effects on ecosystem processes.

This study shows heat stress increases same-sex sexual behavior in burying beetles by altering cuticular hydrocarbon profiles, suggesting a link between thermal stress and chemical communication disruption.

This study identifies parallel genomic mechanisms, including structural variation and functional pathways, in geothermally warmed stickleback populations adapting to increased temperatures.
