Cover image: A sexually dimorphic and endemic species of damselfly ( Chlorolestes tesselatus ) of the family Synlestidae, which occurs in the Eastern Cape Region of South Africa. The male has black‐and‐white wing patches, whereas the female has completely transparent wings. This difference presumably reflects sexual selection on males, but we know little about how fast sexual dimorphism evolves and its ecological consequences in natural populations, a topic discussed in Svensson’s “ Eco‐evolutionary dynamics of sexual selection and sexual conflict”, in this issue and part of the cross‐journal special feature: Eco‐Evolutionary Dynamics Across Scales.
