TL;DR: Assessment of differences in whole‐organism metabolic rate of adult Drosophila subobscura fruit flies carrying either of three different sympatric mtDNA haplotypes finds no significant nuclear or mitonuclear genetic effects on metabolic rate, consistent with a low degree of linkage disequilibrium between mitochondrial and nuclear genes within populations.

TL;DR: This study provides the first direct evidence for postmates sexual selection on standing intraspecific variation in SFP abundance and the pattern of divergence across populations in the seminal fluid proteome match the pattern predicted by the postmating sexual selection paradigm for SFP evolution.

TL;DR: Use of individual‐based simulations shows that positive assortative mating by fitness increases the amount of sexually antagonistic genetic variance in fitness, primarily by elevating the equilibrium frequency of heterozygotes, over most of the range of sex‐specific selection and dominance.

TL;DR: This study illustrates the importance of including samples from several developmental stages when the aim is to provide an integrative and high quality annotated transcriptome of the beetle Callosobruchus maculatus.

TL;DR: It is concluded that some patterns of correlated evolution are congruent with current theory, whereas some are not and this may reflect the fact that much sperm competition theory does not fully incorporate other factors that may affect the evolution of male and female traits, such as trade‐offs between ejaculate expenditure and other competing demands and the development of resource acquisition.
