Abstract: Intraspecific competition at the larval stage is an important ecological factor affecting life‐history, adaptation and evolutionary trajectory in holometabolous insects. However, the molecular pathways underpinning these ecological processes are poorly characterized. We reared Drosophila melanogaster… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jeb.13569
Abstract: Response of endophytic fruit fly species (Tephritidae) to larval crowding is a form of scramble competition that may affect important life history traits of adults, such as survival and reproduction. Recent empirical evidence demonstrates large… read more here.

Consequences of adaptation to larval crowding on sexual and fecundity selection in Drosophila melanogaster

DOI: 10.1111/jeb.14168
Abstract: Sexual selection is a major force influencing the evolution of sexually reproducing species. Environmental factors such as larval density can manipulate adult condition and influence the direction and strength of sexual selection. While most studies… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/insects13070581
Abstract: Simple Summary The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith), is a typical invasive migratory pest with a strong reproductive capacity, which has caused serious damage to crops. Larvae of S. frugiperda exhibit high levels… read more here.
