The past two decades have seen extensive growth of sexual selection research. Theoretical
and empirical work has clarified many components of pre-and postcopulatory sexual …

Sexual conflict arises from differences in the evolutionary interests of males and females and
can occur over traits related to courtship, mating and fertilisation through to parental …

Short-term evolutionary potential depends on the additive genetic variance in the
population. The additive variance is often measured as heritability, the fraction of the total …

Research conducted in the last fifteen years has placed in question many of the traditional
conclusions scholars have formed about human female sexuality. Though conventional …

As genomic sequences become easier to acquire, shotgun proteomics will play an
increasingly important role in genome annotation. With proteomics, researchers can confirm …

One of Ernst Mayr's legacies is the consensus that the allopatry model is the predominant
mode of speciation in most sexually reproducing lineages. In this model, reproductive …

When females mate with multiple partners, the risk of sperm competition depends on female
mating history. To maximize fitness, males should adjust their copulatory investments …

The net effect of sexual selection on nonsexual fitness is controversial. On one side,
elaborate display traits and preferences for them can be costly, reducing the nonsexual …

We describe a graphical model of interlocus coevolution used to distinguish between the
interlocus sexual conflict that leads to sexually antagonistic coevolution, and the intrinsic …

The symbiotic relationship between the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes coordinates
metabolic energy production and is fundamental to life among eukaryotes. Consequently …
