Sexual conflict in primates

Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, 2011
AbstractSexual conflict is increasingly recognized as a major force for evolutionary change and holds great potential for delineating variation in primate behavior and morphology. The goals of this review are to highlight the rapidly rising field of sexual conflict and the ongoing shift in our understanding of interactions between the sexes. We discuss

Sexual Rivalry and Sexual Conflict:

Theoretical Criminology, 1998
There is a cross-culturally universal sex difference in homicide perpetration, and motives of male sexual proprietariness and rivalry are implicated in some substantial proportion of all homicides everywhere. With the exception of some forensic psychiatrists, however, criminologists have paid these motives little explicit attention.

The Genomics of Sexual Conflict

The American Naturalist, 2018
Sexual dimorphism is a substantial contributor to the diversity observed in nature, extending from elaborate traits to the expression level of individual genes. Sexual conflict and sexually antagonistic coevolution are thought to be central forces driving the dimorphism of the sexes and its diversity.

Sexual conflict

2012
Parental care includes a wide variety of traits that enhance offspring development and survival. It is taxonomically widespread and is central to the maintenance of biodiversity through its close association with other phenomena such as sexual selection, life-history evolution, sex allocation, sociality, cooperation and conflict, growth and development,

Sexual conflict and indirect benefits

Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2003
Abstract Recent work on sexual selection and sexual conflict has explored the influence of indirect effects on the evolution of female mating behaviour. It has been suggested that the importance of these effects has been underestimated and that the influence of indirect effects may actually be of relatively greater significance than ...

GENETIC DIFFERENTIATION BY SEXUAL CONFLICT

Evolution, 2007
Sexual conflict has been suggested as a general cause of genetic diversification in reproductive characters, and as a possible cause of speciation. We use individual-based simulations to study the dynamics of sexual conflict in an isolated diploid population with no spatial structure. To explore the effects of genetic details, we consider two different

Sexual conflict

2018
Abstract The reproductive interests of males and females will almost always differ, for example over whether to mate and how often, when to produce offspring and how many, or how much to invest in each offspring. Whenever the reproductive interests of males and females differ, opposing selection on males and females to achieve their ...

Cytosine methylation mediates sexual conflict

Trends in Genetics, 2003
Transposons are infectious agents in sexual populations and can go to fixation even if they reduce the fitness of the host. Sexual hosts are therefore under selective pressure to evolve defensive functions that relieve the fitness penalty imposed by transposons.

Sexual conflict in the epics

Human Nature, 1995
Sexual competition in the epics is looked at for examples of conflict between older or more powerful males and younger or subordinate males over fertile females, a pattern that would have characterized the human environment of evolutionary adaptation (EEA). In the Iliad and Odyssey, the Old Testament, the Arthurian Cycle (and its Celtic originals), the
