How do insects count time in the cold? Toxopeus et al. showed that the duration of diapause (winter dormancy) can be modelled in the apple maggot fly using principles of physiological time, assuming that diapause development rate is temperature sensitive.

How does sexual selection influence behavioural consistency? Using experimental evolution, Brand et al. demonstrate that evolution under heightened sexual selection limits individual phenotypic plasticity and promotes male behavioural consistency.

Does anyone have an original copy of Am. Nat. American Naturalist Vol. 100 (1966) they are willing to part with? Am keen to obtain the book as it contains a study (among many others) that continues to inspire, by one of my fave ecologists of all time...
