Dispersal is a process of central importance for the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of
populations and communities, because of its diverse consequences for gene flow and …

The consequences of polyandry for female fitness are controversial. Sexual conflict studies
and a meta‐analysis of mating rates in insects suggest that there is a longevity cost when …

Global warming and increased atmospheric CO2 are causing the oceans to warm, decrease
in pH and become hypercapnic. These stressors have deleterious impacts on marine …

Climate change is a threat to marine biota because increased atmospheric CO2 is causing
ocean warming, acidification, hypercapnia and decreased carbonate saturation. These …

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 …

Background Predicting effects of rapid climate change on populations depends on
measuring the effects of climate stressors on performance, and potential for adaptation …

Climate change driven ocean acidification and hypercapnia may have a negative impact on
fertilization in marine organisms because of the narcotic effect these stressors exert on …

Despite evidence that variation in male–female reproductive compatibility exists in many
fertilization systems, identifying mechanisms of cryptic female choice at the gamete level has …

Many marine invertebrate taxa are broadcast spawners, where multiple individuals release
their gametes into the water for external fertilization, often in the presence of gametes from …

Genetic benefits from mate choice could be attained by choosing mates with high heritable
quality (“good genes”) and that are genetically compatible (“compatible genes”). We clarify …
