Inland waters cover less than 1% of Earth's surface but harbor more than 6% of all insect
species: Nearly 100,000 species from 12 orders spend one or more life stages in freshwater …

Male genitalia show patterns of divergent evolution, and sexual selection is recognised as
being responsible for this taxonomically widespread phenomenon. Much of the empirical …

The Darwin–Bateman paradigm recognizes competition among males for access to multiple
mates as the main driver of sexual selection. Increasingly, however, females are also being …

Genital coevolution between the sexes is expected to be common because of the direct
interaction between male and female genitalia during copulation. Here we review the …

Female genitalia have been largely neglected in studies of genital evolution, perhaps due to
the long‐standing belief that they are relatively invariable and therefore taxonomically and …

Traumatic mating (or copulatory wounding) is an extreme form of sexual conflict whereby
male genitalia physically harm females during mating. In such species females are expected …

At the end of the last century, sexual conflict was identified as a powerful engine of
speciation, potentially even more important than ecological selection. Earlier work that …

Sexual conflict can lead to rapid and continuous coevolution between females and males,
without any inputs from varying ecology. Yet both the degree of conflict and selection on …

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 aim of this study rests on three premises:(i) humans are altering ecosystems
worldwide,(ii) environmental variation often influences the strength and nature of sexual …
