Article Synopsis
- Climate change leads to organisms being displaced from their ideal temperature ranges, particularly stressing male reproduction, but evidence on how this affects males versus females is mixed.
- The study focused on red flour beetles and found that polygamous conditions increased heat stress negative effects in males while benefiting females, indicating sexual selection plays a role in how organisms respond to thermal stress.
- These findings suggest that sexual selection can change the typical differences in thermal sensitivity between sexes, potentially aiding male adaptation to global warming if both sexual and natural selection favor similar genetic traits under stress.
