The sexual selection of endometriosis.
Evolutionary Behavioral Sciences, 2023 Selection can generate risk of maladaptive extremes in sexually dimorphic and sex-limited traits. In humans, such extremes commonly manifest in diseases associated with sex and reproduction. Endometriosis involves endometrial tissue that proliferates at non-uterine sites.

Sexual selection in a transparent worm : insights from fluorescent sperm [PDF]
, 2015 Sexual selection is a potent source of selection underlying the evolution of sexual dimorphism, reproductive strategies and mating systems. Although sexual selection was initially thought to occur exclusively at the pre-copulatory stage (e.g., contests ...

Beyond sex allocation : the role of mating systems in sexual selection in parasitoid wasps [PDF]
, 2014 Funding: UK NERC Doctoral Training GrantDespite the diverse array of mating systems and life histories which characterise the parasitic Hymenoptera, sexual selection and sexual conflict in this taxon have been somewhat overlooked.

Darwin's Explanation of Races by Means of Sexual Selection [PDF]
, 2012 In _Darwin's Sacred Cause_, Adrian Desmond and James Moore contend that "Darwin would put his utmost into sexual selection because the subject intrigued him, no doubt, but also for a deeper reason: the theory vindicated his lifelong commitment to human ...

Sexual Selection and Proteinaceous Diversity in the Femoral Gland Secretions of Lacertid Lizards
Diversity, 2023 Sexual selection contributes to the diversity of chemical signals in various animal groups. Lizards are good model species to study how sexual selection shapes signal diversity, as they are a chemically oriented taxonomic group with different levels of ...

Sexual selection on song and cuticular hydrocarbons in two distinct populations of Drosophila montana [PDF]
, 2011 Sexual selection has the potential to contribute to population divergence and speciation. Most studies of sexual selection in Drosophila have concentrated on a single signaling modality, usually either courtship song or cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs ...

The sexual selection continuum [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2002 The evolution of mate choice for genetic benefits has become the tale of two hypotheses: Fisher's 'run-away' and 'good genes', or viability indicators. These hypotheses are often pitted against each other as alternatives, with evidence that attractive males sire more viable offspring interpreted as support for good genes and with a negative or null ...

Evolution of sexual size dimorphism in mammals: Sexual or natural selection? [PDF]
, 2023 Sexual size dimorphism may have evolved through two processes: sexual or natural selection. The sexual selection theory states that males compete for mate monopolization and larger males can sire more offspring than smaller ones—factors that resulted in ...

Runaway sexual selection without genetic correlations : social environments and flexible mate choice initiate and enhance the Fisher process [PDF]
, 2012 Female mating preferences are often flexible, reflecting the social environment in which they are expressed. Associated indirect genetic effects (IGEs) can affect the rate and direction of evolutionary change, but sexual selection models do not capture ...

Interaction-Independent Sexual Selection and the Mechanisms of Sexual Selection [PDF]
Evolution, 1998 Darwin identified explicitly two types of sexual selection, male contests (combat and displays) and female choice, and he devoted the overwhelming majority of his examples to traits that influence the outcome of these interactions. Subsequent treatments of sexual selection have emphasized the importance of intra- and intersexual interactions as sources
