Sexual dimorphism in flowering plants
SCH Barrett, J Hough - Journal of experimental botany, 2013 - academic.oup.com
Among dioecious flowering plants, females and males often differ in a range of
morphological, physiological, and life-history traits. This is referred to as sexual dimorphism …

The contemporary evolution of fitness
The rate of evolution of population mean fitness informs how selection acting in
contemporary populations can counteract environmental change and genetic degradation …

The effects of life history and sexual selection on male and female plumage colouration
Classical sexual selection theory,,, provides a well-supported conceptual framework for
understanding the evolution and signalling function of male ornaments. It predicts that males …

Ornaments are equally informative in male and female birds
Female ornaments are often reduced, male-like traits. Although these were long perceived
as non-functional, it is now broadly accepted that female ornaments can be adaptive …

Meta-analytic evidence that sexual selection improves population fitness
Sexual selection has manifold ecological and evolutionary consequences, making its net
effect on population fitness difficult to predict. A powerful empirical test is to experimentally …

The relative importance of plasticity versus genetic differentiation in explaining between population differences; a meta‐analysis
MA Stamp, JD Hadfield - Ecology letters, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Both plasticity and genetic differentiation can contribute to phenotypic differences between
populations. Using data on non‐fitness traits from reciprocal transplant studies, we show that …

Female extra-pair mating: adaptation or genetic constraint?
Why do females of so many socially monogamous species regularly engage in matings
outside the pair bond? This question has puzzled behavioural ecologists for more than two …

Genome-wide sexually antagonistic variants reveal long-standing constraints on sexual dimorphism in fruit flies
The evolution of sexual dimorphism is constrained by a shared genome, leading to 'sexual
antagonism', in which different alleles at given loci are favoured by selection in males and …
