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

Sexual selection has manifold ecological and evolutionary consequences, making its net
effect on population fitness difficult to predict. A powerful empirical test is to experimentally …

The evolution of costly traits such as deer antlers and peacock trains, which drove the
formation of Darwinian sexual selection theory, has been suggested to both reflect and affect …

Sexually antagonistic (SA) genetic variation—in which alleles favored in one sex are
disfavored in the other—is predicted to be common and has been documented in several …

The evolution of male traits that inflict direct harm on females during mating interactions can
result in a so-called tragedy of the commons, where selfish male strategies depress …

Artificial selection, whether intentional or coincidental, is a common result of conservation
policies and natural resource management. To reduce unintended consequences of artificial …

Exaggerated sexually selected traits (SSTs), occurring more commonly in males, help
individuals to increase reproductive success but are costly to produce and maintain. These …

Female preferences for male ornamental traits can arise from indirect benefits, such as
increased attractiveness or better viability of progeny, but empirical evidence for such …
