Thermal phenotypic plasticity of pre- and post-copulatory male harm buffers sexual conflict in wild Drosophila melanogaster

This study shows that thermal phenotypic plasticity of male harm mechanisms in Drosophila melanogaster reduces the impact of sexual conflict on female fitness across different temperatures.

Male harm suppresses female fitness to affect the dynamics of adaptation and evolutionary rescue

This paper quantifies the negative impact of male harm on female fitness across taxa and shows how sexual conflict affects adaptation and evolutionary rescue in response to environmental change.

Ageing via sexual perception is a by-product of male adaptive plasticity in Drosophila melanogaster

The paper investigates whether ageing via sexual perception in Drosophila melanogaster is a by-product of adaptive plasticity, finding it increases reproductive success in competitive environments and magnifies sexual selection.

The ecology of sexual conflict: behaviorally plastic responses to temperature variation in the social environment can drastically modulate male harm to females.

This study shows that temperature variations modulate male harm to females in Drosophila melanogaster, reducing fitness impact by 45-73% and rescuing population productivity by 7-23%.
