Identification of Follower Status Based on Male Proximity Score in Crested Macaque

open access: yesHayati 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

open access: yesInsects, 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

open access: yesScientific 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 ...

Sexual selection in fungi [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Phenology of scramble polygyny in a wild population of chrysomelid beetles: the opportunity for and the strength of sexual selection [corrected]. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Evolution of sexual size dimorphism in mammals: Sexual or natural selection? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Sexual size dimorphism may have evolved through two processes: sexual or natural selection. The sexual selection theory states that males compete for mate monopolization and larger males can sire more offspring than smaller ones—factors that resulted in ...

Metapopulation structure modulates sexual antagonism

open access: yesEvolution 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.

Evolution of Divergent Female Mating Preference in Response to Experimental Sexual Selection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Sexual selection is predicted to drive the coevolution of mating signals and preferences (mating traits) within populations, and could play a role in speciation if sexual isolation arises due to mating trait divergence between populations. However, few
