Genotype-by-environment-by-environment (GxExE) interactions have the potential to shape adaptation in response to multiple stressors

The paper investigates how heat and chemical stress interact to affect survival in flies and identifies genetic variation underlying resistance to combined stressors.

The impact of microplastic contamination in cow manure on reproductive behavior and larval survival in the dung beetle Onthophagus taurus

This study investigates the effects of microplastic contamination on dung beetle reproduction and larval survival, finding high mortality and lack of behavioral distinction between contaminated and control dung.

Life history evolution of insects in response to climate variation: seasonal timing versus thermal physiology

This paper reviews literature and analyzes studies showing photoperiodism for diapause induction evolves predictably with latitude, while clinal variation in life history and thermal plasticity is inconsistent across taxa.

Context-dependent effects of ivermectin residues on dung insects: Interactions with environmental stressors, size, and sex in a sepsid fly (Sepsis neocynipsea)

This study examines how ivermectin residues interact with environmental stressors, size, and sex to affect survival in the sepsid fly Sepsis neocynipsea.

Environmental modifications of dung beetle larvae shape their growth and life history.

This study examines how dung beetle larvae modify their environment and how these modifications affect their growth and development, finding mixed effects depending on the source of environmental modification.

The external rumen of dung beetles: Complex interactions between larvae and their ontogenetic environments shape growth and life history

This study investigates how dung beetle larvae modify their environment and assesses the impact on adult life-history traits, finding no benefit from conspecific modifications but faster development in heterospecific treatments.

Macroevolution of fly wings proceeds along developmental lines of least resistance

The paper shows that developmental variability and genetic variation in wing shape predict deep divergence in fly evolution, suggesting natural selection shapes developmental architectures.

Evolution of male costs of copulation in sepsid flies (Diptera: Sepsidae)

The paper examines male longevity costs of copulation across sepsid fly species, finding variation in costs and suggesting evolutionary shifts in reproductive strategies.
