Understanding the evolution of ecological sex differences: Integrating character displacement and the Darwin‐Bateman paradigm

Evolution Letters, 2019
Sex differences in selection arise for at least two possible reasons: (1) differences originating from anisogamy—the Darwin‐Bateman paradigm—and (2) competition‐driven ecological character displacement (ECD), agnostic of anisogamy.

The Opportunity for Post-Copulatory Sexual Selection in the Ectoparasitic Pea Crab, Dissodactylus primitivus (Brachyura: Pinnotheridae).

PLoS ONE, 2015
Pea crabs, Dissodactylus primitivus, inhabit multiple echinoid (heart urchin) hosts. Male and female crabs move among hosts in search for mates, and both sexes mate multiple times, creating opportunities for post-copulatory sexual selection.

The sexual selection of hominin bipedalism [PDF]

, 2018
In this article, I advance a novel hypothesis on the evolution of hominin bipedalism. I begin by arguing extensively for how the transition to bipedalism must have been problematic for hominins during the Neogene.

Sexual dimorphism in the loud calls of Azara’s owl monkeys (Aotus azarae): evidence of sexual selection? [PDF]

, 2019
Primates use different types of vocalizations in a variety of contexts. Some of the most studied types have been the long distance or loud calls. These vocalizations have been associated with mate defense, mate attraction, and resource defense, and it ...

Sex-biased parental care and sexual size dimorphism in a provisioning arthropod [PDF]

, 2015
The diverse selection pressures driving the evolution of sexual size dimorphism (SSD) have long been debated. While the balance between fecundity selection and sexual selection has received much attention, explanations based on sex-specific ecology have ...

Clinical Correlates of Anxiety and Depression After Diagnosis of a Pediatric Brain Tumor

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The prevalence and clinical correlates of symptoms of anxiety and depression in pediatric patients with brain tumors are not well described. We aimed to identify clinical characteristics that are correlated with elevated symptoms of anxiety and depression following initial diagnosis.

Relation of Adverse Childhood Experiences to Clinical and Patient‐Reported Outcomes for Adults With Sickle Cell Disease: A Registry Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are stressful or traumatic events prior to age 18 that are known to have a lasting impact on individuals’ health and well‐being. There is a gap in understanding the relationship between ACEs and Other Life Stressors and health status for adults with sickle cell disease (SCD).

Stronger sexual selection in warmer waters: the case of a sex role reversed pipefish. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
In order to answer broader questions about sexual selection, one needs to measure selection on a wide array of phenotypic traits, simultaneously through space and time.
