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.

What are Little Boys Made Of, Made of? Victorian Art and the Formation of Gender [PDF]
, 2002 Given that educators increasingly have to integrate social and moral education within the general curriculum, this paper considers ways in which the visual arts may or may not be a useful resource for challenging the stereotypical preconceptions about ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

Opsin expression predicts male nuptial color in threespine stickleback. [PDF]
, 2018 Theoretical models of sexual selection suggest that male courtship signals can evolve through the build-up of genetic correlations between the male signal and female preference.
