DOI: 10.1007/s10750-018-3663-3
Abstract: Evidence for the adaptive value of oviposition site selection in terms of increased offspring fitness is rare in predatory insects. We tested this in the damselfly Lestes macrostigma that prefers the plant Bolboschoenus maritimus. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0204188
Abstract: Climate change is expected to impact animals that are heavily reliant on environmental factors, such as sea turtles, since the incubation of their eggs, hatching success and sex ratio are influenced by the environment in… read more here.
