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,

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 ...

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.

Resource acquisition and pre‐copulatory sexual selection
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Sexual selection influences the evolution of phenotypic traits and contributes to patterns of biodiversity. In many animals, mating involves sequential steps.

The Measurement of Sexual Selection Using Bateman's Principles: An Experimental Test in the Sex-Role-Reversed Pipefish Syngnathus typhle. [PDF]
, 2005 Angus J. Bateman's classic study of sexual selection in Drosophila melanogaster has had a major influence on the development of sexual selection theory. In some ways, Bateman's study has served a catalytic role by stimulating debate on sex roles, sexual ...

Sexual selection gradients change over time in a simultaneous hermaphrodite
eLife, 2017 Sexual selection is generally predicted to act more strongly on males than on females. The Darwin-Bateman paradigm predicts that this should also hold for hermaphrodites.

THE EVOLUTION OF HOMO LUDENS: SEXUAL SELECTION AND A THEOLOGY OF PLAY
Zygon, 2022 This essay argues that reflection on sexual selection can be theologically generative, and that it presents needed counteremphases to some of the discussions about theological anthropology that have been fueled by theological reflection on natural ...

Evidence for the stress-linked immunocompetence handicap hypothesis in humans [PDF]
, 2012 Secondary sexual traits that develop under the action of testosterone, such as masculine human male facial characteristics, have been proposed to signal the strength of the immune system due to the sex hormone's immunosuppressive action.
