Transposable elements (TEs) are selfish genetic units that typically encode proteins that
enable their proliferation in the genome and spread across individual hosts. Here we review …

The cost of DNA sequencing continues to fall, which makes it feasible to develop genomic
resources for new model species that are well suited for studying questions in evolutionary …

Sexual conflict is a conflict between the evolutionary interests of individuals of the two sexes.
The sexes can have different trait optima but this need not imply conflict if their optima can …

Although sexual selection can provide benefits to both sexes, it also can be costly because
of expanded opportunities for intersexual conflict. We evaluated the role of sexual selection …

A growing amount of experimental data indicates extremely rapid evolution of traits and
proteins related to fertilization in many diverging taxa,,. These data come from studies of …

In coevolutionary 'arms races' between the sexes, the outcome of antagonistic interactions
may remain at an evolutionary standstill. The advantage gained by one sex, with any …

Speciation rates among extant lineages of organisms vary extensively, but our
understanding of the causes of this variation and, therefore, the processes of speciation is …

Sympatric speciation, the origin of two or more species from a single local population, has
almost certainly been involved in formation of several species flocks,,,, and may be fairly …

Sexual isolation is a critical form of reproductive isolation in the early stages of animal
speciation, yet little is known about the genetic basis of divergent mate preferences and …

Females of all species belonging to the family Drosophilidae have two kinds of sperm‐
storage organs: paired spherical spermathecae and a single elongate tubular seminal …
