Sex-specific morphs: the genetics and evolution of intra-sexual variation
JE Mank - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2023 - nature.com
Sex-specific morphs exhibit discrete phenotypes, often including many disparate traits, that
are observed in only one sex. These morphs have evolved independently in many different …

Relaxed selection and the rapid evolution of reproductive genes
AL Dapper, MJ Wade - Trends in Genetics, 2020 - cell.com
Evolutionary genomic studies find that reproductive protein genes, those directly involved in
reproductive processes, diversify more rapidly than most other gene categories. Strong …

Genomic analysis of Sparus aurata reveals the evolutionary dynamics of sex-biased genes in a sequential hermaphrodite fish
M Pauletto, T Manousaki, S Ferraresso… - Communications …, 2018 - nature.com
Sexual dimorphism is a fascinating subject in evolutionary biology and mostly results from
sex-biased expression of genes, which have been shown to evolve faster in gonochoristic …

Slow evolution of sex‐biased genes in the reproductive tissue of the dioecious plant Salix viminalis
The relative rate of evolution for sex‐biased genes has often been used as a measure of the
strength of sex‐specific selection. In contrast to studies in a wide variety of animals, far less …

[HTML][HTML] Fish sperm competition in hatcheries and between wild and hatchery origin fish in nature
Males compete pre-and post-mating to fertilize the maximum number of eggs. In polyandry,
sperm competition occurs when sperm from two or more males compete to fertilize eggs …

Ejaculate allocation and sperm characteristics differ among alternative male types in a species of fish with cooperation and competition among unrelated males
Sexual selection arising from sperm competition has driven the evolution of immense
variation in ejaculate allocation and sperm characteristics not only among species, but also …

Sperm competition intensity shapes divergence in both sperm morphology and reproductive genes across murine rodents
It remains unclear how variation in the intensity of sperm competition shapes phenotypic and
molecular evolution across clades. Mice and rats in the subfamily Murinae are a rapid …

Molecular evolution of male reproduction across species with highly divergent sperm morphology in diverse murine rodents
Sperm competition can drive the rapid evolution of male reproductive traits, but it remains
unclear how variation in sperm competition intensity shapes phenotypic and molecular …

The evolution of the testis transcriptome in pregnant male pipefishes and seahorses
In many animals, sperm competition and sexual conflict are thought to drive the rapid
evolution of male-specific genes, especially those expressed in the testes. A potential …

The evolution of sexual dimorphism in gene expression in response to a manipulation of mate competition
Many genes are differentially expressed between males and females and patterns of sex-
biased gene expression (SBGE) vary among species. Some of this variation is thought to …
