Empirical studies of sexual traits continue to generate conflicting results, leading to a
growing awareness that the current understanding of this topic is limited. Here we argue that …

Even as numerous studies have documented that the red and yellow coloration resulting
from the deposition of carotenoids serves as an honest signal of condition, the evolution of …

Ecological speciation is considered an adaptive response to selection for local adaptation.
However, besides suitable ecological conditions, the process requires assortative mating to …

Sexual selection has resulted in some of the most captivating features of insects, including
flashy colors, bizarre structures, and complex pheromones. These features evolve in …

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 …

Human activities by altering environmental conditions are influencing the mate choice of
animals. This is by impacts on:(i) the production and expression of traits evaluated by mate …

Genotype‐by‐environment interactions (GxEs) in naturally selected traits have been
extensively studied, but the impact of GxEs on sexual selection has only recently begun to …

Intralocus sexual conflict (IaSC) occurs when selection at a given locus favors different
alleles in males and females, placing a fundamental constraint on adaptation. However, the …

Local adaptation and sexual dimorphism are iconic evolutionary scenarios of intraspecific
adaptive differentiation in the face of gene flow. Although theory has traditionally considered …

Classic sex role theory predicts that sexual selection should be stronger in males in taxa
showing conventional sex roles and stronger in females in role reversed mating systems. To …
