Juvenile diet quality and intensity of sexual conflict in the mite Sancassania berlesei.
Aleksandra ŁukasiewiczPublished in: BMC evolutionary biology (2020)
Overall, diet quality manipulation affected male reproductive behaviour and mating success. However, I found no evidence that the intensity of sexual conflict in S. berlesei depends on male or female conditions. Investigating a broader range of environmental factors will provide a better understanding of sexual conflict dynamics and its feedback into associated evolutionary mechanisms.
