Phenotypic differences among individuals are ubiquitous, but our understanding of their origins and evolutionary consequences is still not complete. Previous work has identified within-genotype behavioral differences that persist even in constant laboratory environments (behavio…
Immune activation is generally acknowledged to be costly. These costs are frequently assumed to result from trade-offs arising due to the reallocation of resources from other life-history traits to be invested in immunity. Here, I investigated the energetic basis of the costs as…
Males and females possess different strategies regarding reproduction, leading to different fitness optima and sexual conflict. The relative optima for each sex is likely adapted to a specific environment to maximize their fitness. However, changing the environment the sexes are…
