Postcopulatory sexual selection [PDF]
Nature Reviews Genetics, 2002 The female reproductive tract is where competition between the sperm of different males takes place, aided and abetted by the female herself. Intense postcopulatory sexual selection fosters inter-sexual conflict and drives rapid evolutionary change to generate a startling diversity of morphological, behavioural and physiological adaptations.

Chemical communication and its role in sexual selection across Animalia [PDF]
Communications Biology, 2023 Sexual selection has been studied as a major evolutionary driver of animal diversity for roughly 50 years. Much evidence indicates that competition for mates favors elaborate signaling traits.

Sexual and natural selection both influence male genital evolution. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Rapid and divergent evolution of male genital morphology is a conspicuous and general pattern across internally fertilizing animals. Rapid genital evolution is thought to be the result of sexual selection, and the role of natural selection in genital ...

The impact of small groups on pre‐ and postcopulatory sexual selection in polyandrous populations [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Sexual selection is a key evolutionary force but varies widely between populations. Two key factors that influence sexual selection are the extent to which females copulate with multiple males (polyandry) and variation in the social environment ...

Monogamy removes constraints on reproductive tissue investment imposed by intense sexual selection [PDF]
Scientific ReportsA key factor influencing the reproductive success and fitness of an individual is the allocation of resources to reproductive tissue. Previous research has documented positive influences of sexual selection on the evolution of male traits such as testes ...

, 2009 Spolna selekcija je selekcija onih karakteristika koje su povezane s reproduktivnim uspjehom i borbom za spolnoga partnera. Takve karakteristike povećavaju šansu jedinke za uspješnim razmnožavanjem i prenošenjem svojih gena na potomstvo. Porijeklo spolne

Sexual selection in females and the evolution of polyandry [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2023 Over the last decades, the field of sexual selection underwent a paradigm shift from sexual-stereotype thinking of “eager” males and “coy” females towards a more nuanced perspective acknowledging that not only males but also females can benefit from ...

Sexual selection and life history interact to influence the evolution of paternal care [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionParental care is essential to offspring survival in many species. Understanding why males of some species provide care, whereas others do not, has received substantial attention.
