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.

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.

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 ...
