I will be adding information on intrasexual conflict and reproductive interference as studied in American rubyspot populations that can drive speciation.

Article body
Wing pigmentation has been proven to play a part in thermoregulation for other closely-related damselflies, with increased pigmentation resulting in faster rates of heat gain. This phenomenon also showed that damselflies with more pigmentation could emerge earlier in the season, and thus become more reproductively successful.

OUTLINE:
 * Opening- American rubyspots exhibit variations in several traits that derive from sexual selection and intrasexual conflict.
 * P1: One of the most well-studied traits in male rubyspots has been the effects of sexual selection on wing color.
 * Sexual selection on wing-color properties (ref3, ref4)
 * Wing color properties and correlation to male body size, immune quality (ref1, ref2)
 * P2: Effects of alternative mating strategies on sexually selected traits in male Rubyspots
 * ref8, ref9
 * P3: Population divergence resulting from sexual selection
 * Ref5, ref6, ref7
