The total opportunity for sexual selection and the integration of pre‐and post‐mating episodes of sexual selection in a complex world
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 …

[HTML][HTML] Biological constraint, evolutionary spandrels and antagonistic pleiotropy
Maximum lifespan differs greatly between species, indicating that the process of senescence
is largely genetically determined. Senescence evolves in part due to antagonistic pleiotropy …

Life‐history evolution in the anthropocene: Effects of increasing nutrients on traits and trade‐offs
Variation in life‐history traits can have major impacts on the ecological and evolutionary

The positive correlation between maternal size and offspring size: fitting pieces of a life‐history puzzle
The evolution of investment per offspring (I) is often viewed through the lens of the classic
theory, in which variation among individuals in a population is not expected. A substantial …
