Sexual selection creates and maintains elaborate phenotypes despite costs imposed by natural selection. This creates a trade-off between natural and sexual selection, whereby organisms can display traits that decrease survivorship if they sufficiently improve reproductive success. In many species of odonates males possess ornaments, formed by melanin, which increase their mating success, but also increase body temperature, potentially imposing novel trade-offs in a warming climate. Using a combination of comparative and experimental methods, I examined the effects of temperature on mating and thermoregulatory behaviour in Celithemis elisa and Leucorrhinia intacta dragonflies. In C. elisa, I found evidence for this trade-off with positive associations between temperature and time spent thermoregulating and a negative association with time spent mating. In L. intacta, only thermoregulatory behaviour was positively associated with temperature. My results suggest that some dragonflies will have reduced time windows for mating as climate change continues.
