Postcopulatory sexual selection (PCSS), comprised of sperm competition and cryptic female
choice, has emerged as a widespread evolutionary force among polyandrous animals …

Sexual conflict has extremely important consequences for various evolutionary processes
including its effect on local adaptation and extinction probability during environmental …

Food and sex often go hand in hand because of the nutritional cost of reproduction. For
Drosophila melanogaster females, this relationship is especially intimate because their …

When biological material is transferred from one individual's body to another, as in ejaculate,
eggs, and milk, secondary donor-produced molecules are often transferred along with the …

Newly discovered non‐genetic mechanisms break the link between genes and inheritance,
thereby also raising the possibility that previous mating partners could influence traits in …

Sexual conflict occurs whenever there is sexually antagonistic selection on shared traits.
When shared traits result from interactions (eg, mating rate) and have a different genetic …

The potential for sexual conflict to influence the evolution of life span and aging has been
recognized for more than a decade, and recent work also suggests that variation in life span …

The human prostate is a gland of the male reproductive tract, which together with the
seminal vesicles, is responsible for most seminal fluid production. It is a common site of …

Sexual conflict is acknowledged as pervasive, with the potential to generate and maintain
genetic variation. Mechanistic studies of conflict have been important in providing direct …

Mating induces behavioral and physiological changes in female insects—collectively
referred to as the female post-mating response (PMR)—that facilitate the production of …
