An increasing number of studies find females to base their mate choice on several cues.
Why this occurs is debated and many different hypotheses have been proposed. Here I …

Many genes that mediate sexual reproduction, such as those involved in gamete
recognition, diverge rapidly, often as a result of adaptive evolution. This widespread …

Beim Studium der jüngeren Kontroversen über den Darwinismus fiel mir wiederholt auf, das
sie falsche Darstellungen enthielten, so als würde es sich um irgendetwas Umfassenderes …

One hundred years after Darwin considered how sexual selection shapes the behavioral
and morphological characteristics of males for acquiring mates, Parker realized that sexual …

Abstract Since Darwin published the “Origin,” great progress has been made in our
understanding of speciation mechanisms. The early investigations by Mayr and Dobzhansky …

Sexual conflict occurs when the genetic interests of males and females diverge. Recent
evidence supporting the view that male and female genomes are in conflict has now …

The power of sexual selection to drive changes in mate recognition traits gives it the
potential to be a potent force in speciation. Much of the evidence to support this possibility …

The study of speciation has become one of the most active areas of evolutionary biology,
and substantial progress has been made in documenting and understanding phenomena …

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 …

Sexual selection has a reputation as a major cause of speciation, one of the most potent
forces driving reproductive isolation. This reputation arises from observations that species …
