Reduction in thermal plasticity of life history traits in response to cold selection: an experimental evolution study using Drosophila melanogaster by Rishav Roy, Rishav Roy, Aradhya Chattopadhyay, Sreebes Deb Sharma, Aharna Mondal, Payel Biswas, Payel Biswas, Shampa M. Ghosh

“…IntroductionHow selection influences phenotypic plasticity is an important question in evolutionary biology. We report an experimental evolution study that examined how prolonged selection at cold vs. warm temperature impacts the thermal plasticity of traits like reproductive output, body size, and body water content in Drosophila melanogaster.MethodsWe conducted the study on two sets of large, outbred fly populations: one maintained at the standard fly rearing temperature, i.e., 25°C, and another selected at cold temperature, i.e., 17°C, for 3.5 years. …”

Parental conflicts and resource sharing: Evolutionary trade-off by Ruby Dhar, Arun Kumar, Subhradip Karmakar

“…Parental resource conflict, or parent-offspring conflict, is an intriguing concept within evolutionary biology. It refers to the natural disagreement between parents and their young regarding how parental resources should be distributed. …”

“…The study of the consequences of natural interspecific hybridization of closely related species in secondary contact zones is one of the urgent tasks of evolutionary biology. As the conducted studies of ground squirrels hybrids show, their inheritance of the characteristics of the parent species is not only intermediate in nature. …”

“…Although the concept of cryptic species currently represents a general topic, its effect on other aspects of biology, such as biodiversity, ecology, evolutionary biology, and taxonomy, is still unclear. In particular, cryptic species cause complications and prevent the development of a clear taxonomy. …”
