SEXUAL CONFLICT OVER FLORAL RECEPTIVITY [PDF]
Evolution, 2006 In flowering plants, the onset and duration of female receptivity vary among species. In several species the receptive structures wilt upon pollination. Here we explore the hypothesis that postpollination wilting may be influenced by pollen and serve as a general means to secure paternity of the pollen donor at the expense of female fitness.

Detecting sexual conflict and sexually antagonistic coevolution [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2006 We begin by providing an operational definition of sexual conflict that applies to both inter- and intralocus conflict. Using this definition, we examine a series of simple coevolutionary models to elucidate fruitful approaches for detecting interlocus sexual conflict and resultant sexually antagonistic coevolution.
