The mismeasurement of sexual selection
Sexual selection can explain major micro‐and macro‐evolutionary patterns. Much of current
theory predicts that the strength of sexual selection (i) is driven by the relative abundance of …

Bateman's principles and human sex roles
In 1948, Angus J. Bateman reported a stronger relationship between mating and
reproductive success in male fruit flies compared with females, and concluded that selection …

On the opportunity for sexual selection, the Bateman gradient and the maximum intensity of sexual selection
AG Jones - Evolution, 2009 - academic.oup.com
Bateman's classic paper on fly mating systems inspired quantitative study of sexual selection
but also resulted in much debate and confusion. Here, I consider the meaning of Bateman's …

Natural and sexual selection act on different axes of variation in avian plumage color
PO Dunn, JK Armenta, LA Whittingham - Science advances, 2015 - science.org
The bright colors of birds are often attributed to sexual selection on males, but in many
species both sexes are colorful and it has been long debated whether sexual selection can …

Non-breeding season events influence sexual selection in a long-distance migratory bird
The study of sexual selection has traditionally focused on events and behaviours
immediately surrounding copulation. In this study, we examine whether carry-over effects …

An evaluation of the potential factors affecting lifetime reproductive success in salmonids
IJ Koch, SR Narum - Evolutionary Applications, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Lifetime reproductive success (LRS), the number of offspring produced over an organism's
lifetime, is a fundamental component of Darwinian fitness. For taxa such as salmonids with …

The opportunity for sexual selection: not mismeasured, just misunderstood
Evolutionary biologists have developed several indices, such as selection gradients (β) and
the opportunity for sexual selection (I s), to quantify the actual and/or potential strength of …

Sexual selection and the differential effect of polyandry
J Collet, DS Richardson, K Worley… - Proceedings of the …, 2012 - National Acad Sciences
In principle, widespread polyandry (female promiscuity) creates potential for sexual
selection in males both before and after copulation. However, the way polyandry affects pre …

The influence of male age on within‐pair and extra‐pair paternity in passerines
IR Cleasby, S Nakagawa - Ibis, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Although male age has often been found to predict success in gaining extra‐pair paternity, it
is unclear whether this gain is associated with an individual's success in avoiding cuckoldry …
