Sexual selection after gamete release in broadcast spawning invertebrates
JP Evans, RA Lymbery - Philosophical Transactions of …, 2020 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Broadcast spawning invertebrates offer highly tractable models for evaluating sperm
competition, gamete-level mate choice and sexual conflict. By displaying the ancestral …

Intra-specific correlations between ejaculate traits and competitive fertilization success: a meta-analysis across species and fertilization modes
Understanding of how selection can act on traits that improve competitiveness and
subsequent paternity has advanced, including the idea that internal and external fertilization …

Female reproductive fluids 'rescue'sperm from phenotypic ageing in an external fertilizer
Female reproductive fluids (FRFs) serve key reproductive functions in sexually reproducing
animals, including modifying the way sperm swim and detect eggs, and influencing sperm …

How female × male and male × male interactions influence competitive fertilization in Drosophila melanogaster
How males and females contribute to joint reproductive success has been a long-standing
question in sexual selection. Under postcopulatory sexual selection, paternity success is …

Testing for age-dependent effects of dietary restriction on the strength of condition dependence in ejaculate traits in the guppy (Poecilia reticulata)
JP Evans, EJ Turnbull… - Royal Society Open …, 2023 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Ejaculates can be costly to produce and depend on an individual's condition, defined as the
pool of resources allocated to fitness. A method for assessing condition dependence is to …

Sperm depletion in relation to developmental nutrition and genotype in Drosophila melanogaster
Nutrient limitation during development can restrict the ability of adults to invest in costly
fitness traits, and genotypes can vary in their sensitivity to developmental nutrition. However …

Sexual selection maintains a female-specific character in a species with dynamic sex roles
RM Hare, LW Simmons - Behavioral Ecology, 2021 - academic.oup.com
The effects of sexual selection are more conspicuous among male animals, and, as a result,
the majority of sexual selection research focuses on males. However, burgeoning evidence …

Physical and physiological impacts of ocean warming alter phenotypic selection on sperm morphology
Global warming may threaten fertility, which is a key component of individual fitness and vital
for population persistence. For males, fertility relies on the ability of sperm to collide and fuse …

Dietary stress increases the total opportunity for sexual selection and modifies selection on condition‐dependent traits
Although it is often expected that adverse environmental conditions depress the expression
of condition‐dependent sexually selected traits, the full consequences of environmental …

Selection on Sperm Count, but Not on Sperm Morphology or Velocity, in a Wild Population of Anolis Lizards
Sperm competition is a widespread phenomenon that shapes male reproductive success.
