Sexual selection and speciation

Trends in Ecology and Evolution, 2001
The power of sexual selection to drive changes in mate recognition traits gives it the potential to be a potent force in speciation. Much of the evidence to support this possibility comes from comparative studies that examine differences in the number of species between clades that apparently differ in the intensity of sexual selection.

Sexual selection

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1996
Competition over mates takes many forms and has far-reaching consequences for many organisms. Recent work suggests that relative reproductive rates of males and females, sperm competition and quality variation among mates affect the strength of sexual selection.

Copying and sexual selection

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1992
Recent studies of a variety of polygynously mating animals indicate that females do not always choose mates independently, but instead may copy the choices of others. Copying could serve either to increase the accuracy of mate assessment or to reduce its costs. It is also likely to affect the intensity of sexual selection.

Sexual selection and fertility

Theoretical Population Biology, 1983
Genetic models are analyzed in which sexual selection is combined with fertility selection. In these models, the sexual selection acts on males, the fertility selection on either males, females or both sexes. The phenotypes thus selected may be determined either by dominant and recessive alleles or by each homozygous and heterozygous genotype ...
