Wolbachia infection facilitates adaptive increase in male egg size in response to environmental changes.

Results Egg size plasticity under climate change conditions Egg length for both sexes was significantly influenced by the environment ( p = 0.049), parents’ age ( p < 0.001), the interaction between the environment and parents’ age ( p = 0.004), and three-way interactions among environment, line, and parents’ age ( p = 0.024) and among environment, parents’ age, and sex (marginally significant, p = 0.054; Table 1 ).
