Cryptic female choice (CFC) represents postmating intersexual selection arising from female-
driven mechanisms at or after mating that bias sperm use and impact male paternity share …

The long-standing goal of finding genes causing reproductive isolation is being achieved.
To better link the genetics with the process of speciation, we propose that 'speciation …

The field of molecular evolution has experienced explosive growth in recent years due to the
rapid accumulation of genetic sequence data, continuous improvements to computer …

Studies of evolution at the molecular level have experienced phenomenal growth in the last
few decades, due to rapid accumulation of genetic sequence data, improved computer …

The branch-site test is a likelihood ratio test to detect positive selection along prespecified
lineages on a phylogeny that affects only a subset of codons in a protein-coding gene, with …

Across diverse taxa, seminal fluid proteins (Sfps) transferred at mating affect the
reproductive success of both sexes. Such reproductive proteins often evolve under positive …

Many coral species spawn simultaneously and have compatible gametes, leading to
controversy over the nature of species boundaries and the frequency with which …

By using the 1.6 million single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotype data set from
Perlegen Sciences [Hinds, DA, Stuve, LL, Nilsen, GB, Halperin, E., Eskin, E., Ballinger, DG …

A number of genes associated with sexual traits and reproduction evolve at the sequence
level faster than the majority of genes coding for non-sex-related traits. Whole genome …

The role of non-gametic components of the ejaculate (seminal fluid) in fertility and sperm
competitiveness is now well established. Surprisingly, however, we know far less about …
