Reproduction involves decisions about when to mate and who with. We know that high temperatures affect fertility, but how does this affect mating decisions and sexual selection within populations? Tilly Pembury Smith and Rhonda Snook tell us about their work using fruit files. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Parasites and parasitoids are large drivers of evolutionary change. We hear from Peter Hambäck (Stockholm University) about his work on how beetle larvae combat a parasitoid wasp that wants to lay its eggs inside them. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We often hear that invasive species are bad for the ecosystems they invade, but the consequences can seem remote and hard to grasp. In this episode we hear from Nitin Ravikanthachari and Carol Boggs about their study system where an invasive plant has very tangible effects for a native butterfly. Hosted on Acast.
