The trade-off between survival and reproduction is the bedrock of the evolutionary theory of
ageing. The reproductive system regulates ageing of the soma, and removal of germ cells …

Males and females commonly differ in their life history optima and, consequently, in the
optimal expression of life history, behavioral and physiological traits involved in pace-of-life …

Male–female coevolution has taken different paths among closely related species, but our
understanding of the factors that govern its direction is limited. While it is clear that …

The evolution of sexual dimorphism is constrained by a shared genome, leading to 'sexual
antagonism', in which different alleles at given loci are favoured by selection in males and …

Genes with sex-biased expression show a number of unique properties and this has been
seen as evidence for conflicting selection pressures in males and females, forming a genetic …

Climate change is affecting population growth rates of ectothermic pests with potentially dire
consequences for agriculture and global food security. However, current projection models …

Males and females in many species differ in how they age and how long they live. These
differences have motivated much research, concerning both their evolution and the …

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 …

Sex differences in life history, physiology, and behavior are nearly ubiquitous across taxa,
owing to sex-specific selection that arises from different reproductive strategies of the sexes …

Mutations with conflicting fitness effects in males and females accumulate in sexual
populations, reducing their adaptive capacity. 1, 2 Although quantitative genetic studies …
