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 ...

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 ...

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

Sexual selection for males with beneficial mutations
Scientific Reports, 2022 Sexual selection is the process by which traits providing a mating advantage are favoured. Theoretical treatments of the evolution of sex by sexual selection propose that it operates by reducing the load of deleterious mutations.

Intralocus sexual conflict diminishes the benefits of sexual selection. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2006 Evolution based on the benefits of acquiring "good genes" in sexual selection is only plausible with the reliable transmission of genetic quality from one generation to the next.

Jurnal Kedokteran Hewan, 2017 The objective of this study was to examine the effects of repeated freeze-thaw cycles and short-term storage of fecal extracts at ambient temperature on the stability of fecal glucocorticoid (fGCM) and estrogen metabolite (fEM) levels from crested ...

Sexual Selection and Sexual Dimorphism in Mottled Sculpins [PDF]
Evolution, 1983 There are two aspects to sexual selection (Darwin, 1871). Intra-sexual selection focuses on the consequences of competition between members of one sex (usually males) for access to the other sex; whereas epigamic selection or female choice focuses on the consequences of mate preferences of one sex (usually females) with regard to the other sex ...

Evolutionary Applications, 2019 Whether sexual selection impedes or aids adaptation has become an outstanding question in times of rapid environmental change and parallels the debate about how the evolution of individual traits impacts on population dynamics.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2014 Genetic polymorphism can be maintained over time by negative frequency-dependent (FD) selection induced by Rock-paper-scissors (RPS) social systems. RPS games produce cyclic dynamics, and have been suggested to exist in lizards, insects, isopods, plants,
