Identification of Follower Status Based on Male Proximity Score in Crested Macaque
Hayati Journal of Biosciences, 2020 Crested macaque live in multimale-multifemale social groups where temporary association (consortship) typically occurs. Current theory and these limited qualitative observations suggest the hypothesis that behavior functions as a means for males to gain ...

Environmental Correlates of Sexual Signaling in the Heteroptera: A Prospective Study
Insects, 2021 Sexual selection is a major evolutionary process, shaping organisms in terms of success in competition for access to mates and their gametes. The study of sexual selection has provided rich empirical and theoretical literature addressing the ecological ...

Divergent preference functions generate directional selection in a jumping spider
Scientific Reports, 2023 Sexual selection has long been thought to promote speciation, but this possibility still remains a topic of controversy. Many theoretical models have been developed to understand the relationship between sexual selection and speciation, but such ...

Phenology of scramble polygyny in a wild population of chrysomelid beetles: the opportunity for and the strength of sexual selection [corrected]. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Recent debate has highlighted the importance of estimating both the strength of sexual selection on phenotypic traits, and the opportunity for sexual selection.

Sexual selection in fungi [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2012 AbstractThe significance of sexual selection, the component of natural selection associated with variation in mating success, is well established for the evolution of animals and plants, but not for the evolution of fungi. Even though fungi do not have separate sexes, most filamentous fungi mate in a hermaphroditic fashion, with distinct sex roles ...

Metapopulation structure modulates sexual antagonism
Evolution Letters, 2021 Despite the far‐reaching evolutionary implications of sexual conflict, the effects of metapopulation structure, when populations are subdivided into several demes connected to some degree by migration, on sexual conflict dynamics are unknown.

Sexual selection in plants [PDF]
Current Biology, 2011 SummaryDarwin's theory of evolution by natural selection provided an immediately convincing explanation for the close fit between form and function in nature that had previously only been explicable in terms of supernatural design. Traits evolved in a way that improved their bearer's chances of survival and its success at producing offspring.

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.

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.
