The aim of this review is to consider the potential benefits that females may gain from mating
more than once in a single reproductive cycle. The relationship between non-genetic and …

The sexual reproductive phase in plants might be particularly vulnerable to the effects of
global warming. The direct effect of temperature changes on the reproductive process has …

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 …

Different loci within the genome of a single species can potentially coevolve in a manner that
is analogous to the Red Queen process among species. The major factor driving this …

In this paper, I consider the criteria necessary to demonstrate the postcopulatory ability of
females to favor the sperm of one conspecific male over another, that is, sperm choice. In …

▪ Abstract The evolution of reproductive isolation is perhaps the most significant stage in the
process of species formation, and the study of reproductive barriers currently dominates …

Background The male fitness pathway, from pollen production to ovule fertilization, is
thought to strongly influence reproductive trait evolution in animal-pollinated plants. This …

Plant reproduction is highly vulnerable to environmental conditions such as temperature
and, consequently, planet warming may have significant consequences on the reproductive …

Sexual selection has been portrayed as acting predominantly on males who compete with
each other over copulatory access to females; selection was considered to be driven by …

Production of more than one morphological type of sperm in a common testis has been
documented for a variety of invertebrates, including gastropods, spiders, centipedes, and …
