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 ...

Can sexual selection drive female life histories? A comparative study on Galliform birds [PDF]
, 2007 Sexual selection has been identified as a major evolutionary force shaping male life history traits but its impact on female life history evolution is less clear.

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.

Sexual selection and sex allocation in a simultaneous hermaphrodite [PDF]
, 2010 Since Darwin’s pioneering work, sexual selection theory has become a unifying framework in evolutionary biology successfully explaining the variation in sexual dimorphism, reproductive strategies and mating systems. Although, it has long been argued that

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,

Adaptation to a bacterial pathogen in Drosophila melanogaster is not aided by sexual selection
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Theory predicts that sexual selection should aid adaptation to novel environments, but empirical support for this idea is limited. Pathogens are a major driver of host evolution and, unlike abiotic selection pressures, undergo epidemiological and co ...

Sexual selection, germline mutation rate and sperm competition
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2003 Background An important component of sexual selection arises because females obtain viability benefits for their offspring from their mate choice.

Divergent natural selection alters male sperm competition success in Drosophila melanogaster
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Sexually selected traits may also be subject to non‐sexual selection. If optimal trait values depend on environmental conditions, then “narrow sense” (i.e., non‐sexual) natural selection can lead to local adaptation, with fitness in a certain environment

Can Sexual Selection Drive the Evolution of Sperm Cell Structure?
Cells, 2021 Sperm cells have undergone an extraordinarily divergent evolution among metazoan animals. Parker recognized that because female animals frequently mate with more than one male, sexual selection would continue after mating and impose strong selection on ...
