Strategies, costs and counter‐strategies to sexual coercion

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 1557-1577, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Sexual conflict, the conflict between the evolutionary interests of females and males over mating, occasionally results in the evolution of traits favourable for one sex and adverse for the other. In this context, males can use sexual coercion to increase their mating success, at the expense of their female targets' mate choice.

Estimated communication range and energetic cost of bottlenose dolphin whistles in a tropical habitat.

open access: yesJournal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2012
Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops sp.) depend on frequency-modulated whistles for many aspects of their social behavior, including group cohesion and recognition of familiar individuals. Vocalization amplitude and frequency influences communication range and

Age determination and age related factors in the teeth of Western North Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1980
Teeth were taken from 120 bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops truncatus, which had stranded on the mid-Atlantic coast of the United States. The number of annual growth layer groups (GLGs) for each animal was used to construct a growth curve. The growth rate of

Life-history trade-offs in a generalist digenean from cetaceans: the role of host specificity and environmental factors

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Adults and larvae of generalist parasites are exposed to diverse hosts and local environmental conditions throughout their life cycles, thus local adaptation is expected to occur through phenotypic plasticity and/or natural selection.
