Environmental Correlates of Sexual Signaling in the Heteroptera: A Prospective Study
Insects, 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
Scientific 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 ...

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

Metapopulation structure modulates sexual antagonism
Evolution 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.

Can sexual selection drive female life histories? A comparative study on Galliform birds [PDF]
, 2007 Sexual selection is an important driver of many of the most spectacular morphological traits that we find in the animal kingdom (for example see Andersson, 1994). As such, sexual selection is most often emphasized as

Timing as a sexually selected trait: the right mate at the right moment [PDF]
, 2017 Sexual selection favours the expression of traits in one sex that attract members of the opposite sex for mating. The nature of sexually selected traits such as vocalization, colour and ornamentation, their fitness benefits as well as their costs have ...

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 ...

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.

Are Hand Preference and Sexual Orientation Possible Predicting Factors for Finasteride Adverse Effects in Male Androgenic Alopecia? [PDF]
, 2016 Sexual side effects of finasteride seem to be redoubtable, being encountered not only during therapy but also after treatment cessation. Consequently, any possible clinical/paraclinical elements that might predict these adverse effects would be useful in

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.
