Sexual selection in a warming world

2026/01/07

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.
