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.

American Naturalist, 2019 Intersexual signals that reveal developmental or mating status in females have evolved repeatedly in many animal lineages. Such signals have functions in sexual conflict over mating and can therefore influence sexually antagonistic coevolution.

Royal Society Open Science, 2022 Communal breeding, wherein multiple conspecifics live and reproduce together, may generate short-term benefits in terms of defence and reproduction. However, its carry-over effects remain unclear. We experimentally tested the effects of communal breeding

Phenotypic sexual dimorphism is associated with genomic signatures of resolved sexual conflict
Molecular Ecology, 2019 Intralocus sexual conflict, where an allele benefits one sex at the expense of the other, has an important role in shaping genetic diversity of populations through balancing selection.

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.

eLife, 2022 Cooperative breeding allows the costs of parental care to be shared, but as groups become larger, such benefits often decline as competition increases and group cohesion breaks down.

PLoS ONE, 2013 Sexual violence is highly prevalent in armed conflict and other humanitarian crises and attracting increasing policy and practice attention. This systematic review aimed to canvas the extent and impact of initiatives to reduce incidence, risk and harm ...

PLoS ONE, 2014 The prevalence of sexual conflict in nature, as well as the supposedly arbitrary direction of the resulting coevolutionary trajectories, suggests that it may be an important driver of phenotypic divergence even in a constant environment. However, natural

Signature of sexual conflict is actually conflict resolved
Molecular Ecology, 2019 There has been substantial interest of late in using population genetic methods to study sexual conflict, where an allele increases the fitness of one sex at some cost to the other (Mank, 2017).

The timing of female genital mutilation and the role of contralateral palpal insertions in the spider Cyclosa argenteoalba [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Some male spiders exhibit female genital mutilation behaviour (FGM) by removing the female genital appendage (scape) to control the mating frequency of females. Female spiders have two, i.e.
