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

Classical sexual selection theory,,, provides a well-supported conceptual framework for
understanding the evolution and signalling function of male ornaments. It predicts that males …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Sex differences in diseases involving oxidative and proteolytic stress are common, including
greater ischemic heart disease, Parkinson disease and stroke in men, and greater …

Meta‐analysis is increasingly used to synthesize major patterns in the large literatures within
ecology and evolution. Meta‐analytic methods that do not account for the process of …

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 …
