It is well known that sexual selection can target reproductive traits during successive pre‐
and post‐mating episodes of selection. A key focus of recent studies has been to understand …

Intromittent organs are structures that enter the female genital tract and deposit sperm; these
organs are found in many animal taxa that use internal fertilization. Despite their shared …

Many journals in ecology and evolutionary biology encourage or require authors to make
their data and code available alongside articles. In this study we investigated how often this …

Intra‐specific variation pattern is informative to understanding the evolution of morphological
traits, but has been rarely studied in jumping spiders. Here we investigate the intra‐specific …

Male genitals are highly divergent in animals with internal fertilization. Most studies
attempting to explain this diversity have focused on testing the major hypotheses of genital …

Sexual selection has been a popular subject within evolutionary biology because of its
central role in explaining odd and counterintuitive traits observed in nature. Consequently …

Sexual selection is thought to be responsible for the rapid divergent evolution of male
genitalia with several studies detecting multivariate sexual selection on genital form …

Sexual selection can operate before and after copulation and the same or different trait (s)
can be targeted during these episodes of selection. The direction and form of sexual …

Placentotrophy is a particular type of maternal provisioning to developing embryos, in which
mothers actively provide nutrients via complex placental structures. Placentotrophy implies …

Estimates of last male sperm precedence (P 2) are often used to infer mechanisms of sperm
competition, a form of post-copulatory sexual selection. However, high levels of mating …
