Resource‐dependent evolution of female resistance responses to sexual conflict [PDF]
Evolution Letters, 2020 Sexual conflict can promote the evolution of dramatic reproductive adaptations as well as resistance to its potentially costly effects. Theory predicts that responses to sexual conflict will vary significantly with resource levels—when scant, responses ...

Sex ratios and gender norms: why both are needed to understand sexual conflict in humans [PDF]
Evolutionary Human SciencesSexual conflict theory has been successfully applied to predict how in non-human animal populations, sex ratios can lead to conflicting reproductive interests of females and males and affect their bargaining positions in resolving such conflicts of ...

Evolution of sex‐biased genes in Drosophila species with neo‐sex chromosomes: Potential contribution to reducing the sexual conflict [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionAn advantage of sex chromosomes may be the potential to reduce sexual conflict because they provide a basis for selection to operate separately on females and males.

Juvenile diet quality and intensity of sexual conflict in the mite Sancassania berlesei [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020 Background Differing evolutionary interests of males and females may result in sexual conflict, whereby traits or behaviours that are beneficial for male reproductive success (e.g., traits related to male-male competition) are costly for females.

Evolution of sexual cooperation from sexual conflict. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2019 In many species that form pair bonds, males display to their mate after pair formation. These displays elevate the female’s investment into the brood. This is a form of cooperation because without the display, female investment is reduced to levels that are suboptimal for both sexes.

Macroevolutionary consequences of sexual conflict. [PDF]
Biol Lett, 2018 Intralocus sexual conflicts arise whenever the fitness optima for a trait expressed in both males and females differ between the sexes and shared genetic architecture constrains the sexes from evolving independently towards their respective optima. Such sexual conflicts are commonplace in nature, yet their long-term evolutionary consequences remain ...

Current Biology, 2019 Evolutionary conflict arises from differences in the fitness interests of replicating entities and has its roots in relatedness asymmetries. Every replicator is related to itself by 100%, but in most cases is less related to other replicators, which generates selfishness and conflicts of interest.

Metapopulation structure modulates sexual antagonism
Evolution Letters, 2021 Despite the far‐reaching evolutionary implications of sexual conflict, the effects of metapopulation structure, when populations are subdivided into several demes connected to some degree by migration, on sexual conflict dynamics are unknown.

A potential role for restricted intertactical heritability in preventing intralocus conflict
Evolutionary Applications, 2021 Intralocus sexual conflict, which arises when the same trait has different fitness optima in males and females, reduces population growth rates. Recently, evolutionary biologists have recognized that intralocus conflict can occur between morphs or ...
