Darwinian sex roles confirmed across the animal kingdom
Since Darwin's conception of sexual selection theory, scientists have struggled to identify the
evolutionary forces underlying the pervasive differences between male and female …

Sexual selection and its evolutionary consequences in female animals
RM Hare, LW Simmons - Biological Reviews, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

The total opportunity for sexual selection and the integration of pre‐and post‐mating episodes of sexual selection in a complex world
JP Evans, F Garcia‐Gonzalez - Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2016 - academic.oup.com
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 …

The 150th anniversary of The Descent of Man: Darwin and the impact of sex-role reversal on sexual selection research
The year 2021 marks the 150th anniversary of the publication of Charles Darwin's

Multivariate selection drives concordant patterns of pre-and postcopulatory sexual selection in a livebearing fish
In many species, females mate with multiple partners, meaning that sexual selection on
male traits operates across a spectrum that encompasses the competition for mates (that is …

Quantifying episodes of sexual selection: insights from a transparent worm with fluorescent sperm
Sexual selection operates through consecutive episodes of selection that ultimately
contribute to the observed variance in reproductive success between individuals …

Disentangling precopulatory and postcopulatory sexual selection in polyandrous species
B Pélissié, P Jarne, V Sarda, P David - Evolution, 2014 - academic.oup.com

Population density mediates the interaction between pre-and postmating sexual selection
When females mate with more than one male, sexual selection acts both before and after
mating. The interaction between pre-and postmating episodes of selection is expected to be …

Quantifying the causal pathways contributing to natural selection
The consequences of natural selection can be understood from a purely statistical
perspective. In contrast, an explicitly causal approach is required to understand why trait …
