Among dioecious flowering plants, females and males often differ in a range of
morphological, physiological, and life-history traits. This is referred to as sexual dimorphism …

As the evolutionary interests of males and females are frequently divergent, a trait value that
is optimal for the fitness of one sex is often not optimal for the other. A shared genome also …

Sexual reproduction is a fundamental aspect of life. It is defined by the occurrence of meiosis
and the fusion of two gametes of different sexes or mating types. Sex-determination …

1. Classic evolutionary models interpret ageing as a cost of reproduction, but evolutionary
research has thus far largely neglected the conceptual links between the evolution of ageing …

As reflected by the two rules of speciation (Haldane's rule and the large X-/Z-effect), sex
chromosomes are expected to behave like supergenes of speciation: they recombine only in …

In spite of millions of years of evolutionary divergence, the conservation of gene function is
common across distant lineages. As such, genes that are known to influence behaviour in …

Identification of genes involved in reproductive isolation opens novel ways to investigate
links between stages of the speciation process. Are the genes coding for ecological …

Females and males of many animals exhibit a striking array of sexual dimorphisms, ranging
from the primary differences of the gametes and gonads to the somatic differences often …

Intralocus sexual conflict arises when there are sex‐specific optima for a trait that is
expressed in both sexes and when the constraint of a shared gene pool prevents males and …
