Lack of Female Preference for Nuptial Gifts May Have Led to Loss of the Male Sexual Trait
Evolutionary loss of sexual traits may occur if the forces that maintain those traits weaken or disappear. Females may evolve resistance or a change...

Positive shifts in species richness and abundance of moths over five decades coincide with community-wide phenotypic trait homogenisation
AbstractWhile some species rapidly decline, compromising vital ecosystem services, others are stable or even increasing in abundance. We studied...
