Abstract: Globally, heatwaves have become more common with hazardous consequences on biological processes. Research using a model insect ( Tribolium castaneum ) found that 5-day experimental heatwave conditions damaged several aspects of male reproductive biology, while females remained unaffected. However, females’ reproductive fitness may still be impacted, as insects typically store sperm from multiple males in specialized organs for prolonged periods. Consequently, using males which produce s… Show more
