Why do females mate multiply? A review of the genetic benefits
MD Jennions, M Petrie - Biological Reviews, 2000 - cambridge.org
The aim of this review is to consider the potential benefits that females may gain from mating
more than once in a single reproductive cycle. The relationship between non-genetic and …

The aim of this review is to consider variation in mating preferences among females. We
define mating preferences as the sensory and behavioural properties that influence the …

[图书][B] Sex, size and gender roles: evolutionary studies of sexual size dimorphism
Why do males and females frequently differ so markedly in body size and morphology? Sex,
Size, and Gender Roles is the first book to investigate the genetic, developmental, and …

A comparative test of adaptive hypotheses for sexual size dimorphism in lizards
RM Cox, SL Skelly, HB John‐Alder - Evolution, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
It is commonly argued that sexual size dimorphism (SSD) in lizards has evolved in response
to two primary, nonexclusive processes:(1) sexual selection for large male size, which …

Multiple paternity in reptiles: patterns and processes
The evolution of female promiscuity poses an intriguing problem as benefits of mating with
multiple males often have to arise via indirect, genetic, effects. Studies on birds have …

Genetics and evolution of colour patterns in reptiles
The study of coloration in the polyphyletic reptilians has flourished in the last two decades, in
particular with respect to the underlying genetics of colour traits, the function of colours in …

A" good-sperm" model can explain the evolution of costly multiple mating by females
Y Yasui - The American Naturalist, 1997 - journals.uchicago.edu
Multiple mating by females (or polyandry) is one of the most controversial subjects in sexual
selection and mating systems theory (Smith 1984; Halliday and Arnold 1987; Birkhead and …

Good genes, old age and life-history trade-offs
H Kokko - Evolutionary Ecology, 1998 - Springer
The possibility of using old age of a mate as an indicator of genetic quality is currently
controversial. Early verbal models as well as a recent simulation study noted that female …

The seasonal timing of oviposition in sand lizards (Lacerta agilis): why early clutches are better
We studied a population of sand lizards (Lacerta agilis) near the northern edge of the
species' range in coastal Sweden. We captured, marked, released and recaptured 98 adult …

Sexual selection drives asymmetric introgression in wall lizards
Hybridisation is increasingly recognised as an important cause of diversification and
adaptation. Here, we show how divergence in male secondary sexual characters between …
