The last decade has witnessed considerable theoretical and empirical investigation of how
male sexual ornaments evolve. This strong male-biased perspective has resulted in the …

Urbanisation can affect mating opportunities and thereby alter inter‐and intra‐sexual
selection pressures on sexual traits. Biotic and abiotic urban conditions can influence an …

The many components of seasonal adaptations in insects are reviewed, especially from the
viewpoint of aspects that must be studied in order to understand the structure and purposes …

Mate choice is an important evolutionary process influencing a vast array of traits and
ecological processes. Although the study of mate choice has proved to be hugely popular …

Concern over global amphibian declines and possible links to agrochemical use has led to
research on the endocrine disrupting actions of agrochemicals, such as fertilizers …

The important role that mate choice plays in the lives of animals is matched by the large and
active research field dedicated to studying it. Researchers work on a wide range of species …

One of the most debated questions in evolutionary biology is whether female choice of
males with exaggerated sexual displays can evolve as a correlated response to selection …

One of the common assumptions in the study of the evolution of parental care is that trade‐
offs exist between parental investment and other fitness‐related traits. In general, this body …

Mate choice may impose both linear (ie, directional) and nonlinear (ie, quadratic and
correlational) sexual selection on advertisement traits. Traditionally, mate recognition and …

Exaggerated male-limited coloration is widespread among butterflies, yet convincing
demonstrations of intraspecific mating preferences for signal brightness and/or chromaticity …
