Burns-Dunn S, Mortys T, House C, Mitchell C, Duffield K, Foquet B, et al.
Proc Biol Sci . 2024 Jul; 291(2026):20240804. PMID: 38955230
The evolution of nuptial gifts has traditionally been considered a harmonious affair, providing benefits to both mating partners. There is growing evidence, however, that receiving a nuptial gift can be...
2.
House C, Duffield K, Rapkin J, Sakaluk S, Hunt J
Evolution . 2024 Jun; 78(9):1606-1618. PMID: 38864438
Theoretically, males should increase their ejaculate expenditure when the probability of sperm competition occurring (or risk) is high but decrease ejaculate expenditure as the number of competing ejaculates (or intensity)...
3.
DiSciullo R, Forsman A, Fitak R, Hunt J, Nietlisbach P, Thompson C, et al.
Evolution . 2024 Mar; 78(6):1054-1066. PMID: 38441178
Bird song is a classic example of a sexually selected trait, but much of the work relating individual song components to fitness has not accounted for song typically being composed...
4.
Duncan P, Tauber A, Sakaluk S, Thompson C
Ethology . 2024 Feb; 130(2). PMID: 38389708
In recent years, temperatures have increased globally, and nestlings of many bird species are likely regularly exposed to increased temperatures both pre- and postnatally. Even small increases in nest temperature...

Rios-Villamil A, Letendre C, Williams A, Rapkin J, Sakaluk S, House C, et al.
Evolution . 2024 Feb; 78(5):971-986. PMID: 38366350
Dietary macronutrients regulate life span and aging, yet little is known about their evolutionary effects. Here, we examine the evolutionary response of these traits in decorated crickets (Gryllodes sigillatus) maintained...
6.
McKermitt J, Foquet B, Kuna W, Hunt J, Sadd B, Sakaluk S
Evolution . 2023 Dec; 78(3):453-462. PMID: 38124480
The operational sex ratio (OSR) is a key component influencing the magnitude of sexual selection driving the evolution of male sexual traits, but males often also retain the ability to...
7.
Di Giovanni A, Villa J, Stanback M, Thompson C, Sakaluk S, Hauber M, et al.
J Exp Biol . 2023 Jun; 226(14). PMID: 37357579
Hosts of obligate avian brood parasites often evolve defense mechanisms to avoid rearing unrelated young. One common defense is egg rejection, for which hosts often rely on eggshell color. Most...
8.
Duffield K, Foquet B, Stasko J, Hunt J, Sadd B, Sakaluk S, et al.
Viruses . 2022 Dec; 14(12). PMID: 36560716
Despite decades of focus on crickets (family: Gryllidae) as a popular commodity and model organism, we still know very little about their immune responses to microbial pathogens. Previous studies have...

Foquet B, Rapkin J, Sharma M, Sadd B, Sakaluk S, Hunt J
J Evol Biol . 2022 Nov; 36(1):183-194. PMID: 36357978
Nuptial food gift provisioning by males to females at mating is a strategy in many insects that is thought to be shaped by sexual conflict or sexual selection, as it...

Letendre C, Rios-Villamil A, Williams A, Rapkin J, Sakaluk S, House C, et al.
J Evol Biol . 2022 Sep; 35(11):1465-1474. PMID: 36129960
Although dietary macronutrients are known to regulate insect immunity, few studies have examined their evolutionary effects. Here, we evaluate this relationship in the cricket Gryllodes sigillatus by maintaining replicate populations...
