Featured blog: Swim fast, die young: seminal fluid from competing males prompts sperm to swim faster despite possible costs

Leaf-cutting ant queens have one only mating event in their lives, when they will mate with a number of male partners and then store the sperm which they will use to fertilize millions of eggs throughout their lives.  Here, Liberti and colleagues explain more about this ants unique mating biology and how the sperm has evolved to survive being stored for many years.

Featured article: Can a simple infection affect the evolution of a host species?

Wolbachia are endosymbiont bacteria commonly found in insects. They can play an important role in both the ecology and evolution of their host though reproductive manipulation. Here, Schuler and colleagues investigated whether patterns of Wolbachia infection in Belonocnema treatae gall wasps is associated with the insects geographical distribution, plant affiliation, life cycle and evolutionary history.
