Conventional sex roles imply caring females and competitive males. The evolution of sex
role divergence is widely attributed to anisogamy initiating a self‐reinforcing process. The …

Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) is common in both plants and animals, and current evidence
suggests that it reflects the adaptation of males and females to their different reproductive …

Molluscs comprise the second largest phylum of animals (after arthropods), occurring in
virtually all habitats. Some are commercially important, a few are pests and some carry …

This topical and exciting textbook describes fisheries exploitation, biology, conservation and
management, and reflects many recent and important changes in fisheries science. These …

Why does nature love symmetry? In Asymmetry, Developmental Stability and Evolution, M--
oslash--; ller and Swaddle analyse the evolutionary implications of symmetry. They advance …

Coral reefs, with their millions of species, have changed profoundly because of the effects of
people, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Reefs are subject to many of …

Concepts and theory for the design and application of terrestrial reserves is based on our
understanding of environmental, ecological, and evolutionary processes responsible for …

For sexual selection to act on a given sex, there must exist variation in the reproductive
success of that sex as a result of differential access to mates or fertilisations. The …

Fishes show one of the widest ranges of sperm competition intensity of any animal group.
Here we present a comparative study whose aim is to investigate the effect of relative …

In this Letter we propose a kinematic model to explain how collisions with a surface and
rotational Brownian motion give rise to accumulation of microswimmers near a surface. In …
