An alternative hypothesis for the evolution of same-sex sexual behaviour in animals
Same-sex sexual behaviour (SSB) has been recorded in over 1,500 animal species with a
widespread distribution across most major clades. Evolutionary biologists have long sought …

Same-sex sexual behaviour and selection for indiscriminate mating
BA Lerch, MR Servedio - Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2021 - nature.com
The widespread presence of same-sex sexual behaviour (SSB) has long been thought to
pose an evolutionary conundrum, as participants in SSB suffer the cost of failing to …

Rarity of size-assortative mating in animals: assessing the evidence with anuran amphibians
DM Green - The American Naturalist, 2019 - journals.uchicago.edu
Assortative mating in animals can have substantial evolutionary impact. Numerous reports
also make it appear to be pervasive in occurrence. In assortative mating, defined here in …

[HTML][HTML] Experimental evolution with an insect model reveals that male homosexual behaviour occurs due to inaccurate mate choice
The existence of widespread male same-sex sexual behaviour (SSB) is puzzling: why does
evolution allow costly homosexual activity to exist, when reproductive fitness is primarily …
