Sexual conflict occurs when the genetic interests of males and females diverge. Recent
evidence supporting the view that male and female genomes are in conflict has now …

Sexual dimorphism in anatomical, physiological and behavioural traits are characteristics of
many vertebrate species. In humans, sexual dimorphism is also observed in the prevalence …

The past decade has seen a profound change in the scientific understanding of
reproduction. The traditional view of reproduction as a joint venture undertaken by two …

Why do males and females frequently differ so markedly in body size and morphology? Sex,
Size, and Gender Roles is the first book to investigate the genetic, developmental, and …

Intralocus sexual conflict occurs when selection on a shared trait in one sex displaces the
other sex from its phenotypic optimum. It arises because many shared traits have a common …

Sexual conflict is a conflict between the evolutionary interests of individuals of the two sexes.
The sexes can have different trait optima but this need not imply conflict if their optima can …

Recent decades have witnessed an explosion of theoretical and empirical studies of sex
allocation, transforming how we understand the allocation of resources to male and female …

Genetic influences on personality differences are ubiquitous, but their nature is not well
understood. A theoretical framework might help, and can be provided by evolutionary …

We review the current status of three well–established models (direct benefits, indirect
benefits and sensory drive) and one newcomer (antagonistic chase–away) of the evolution …

Human height is a highly variable trait, both within and between populations, has a high
heritability, and influences the manner in which people behave and are treated in society …
