Postmating female control: 20 years of cryptic female choice
Cryptic female choice (CFC) represents postmating intersexual selection arising from female-
driven mechanisms at or after mating that bias sperm use and impact male paternity share …

Reviewing the genetic evidence for sex-biased dispersal in elasmobranchs
Dispersal in many organisms is asymmetric by sex, a pattern that is often identified through
the use of genetic tools. Sex-biased dispersal (SBD) is thought to derive from the varying …

Cryptic haplotype-specific gamete selection yields offspring with optimal MHC immune genes
Females choose specific mates in order to produce fitter offspring. However, several factors
interfere with females' control over fertilization of their eggs, including sneaker males and …

MHC class II‐assortative mate choice in European badgers (Meles meles)
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) plays a crucial role in the immune system, and
in some species, it is a target by which individuals choose mates to optimize the fitness of …

MHC-dependent mate choice is linked to a trace-amine-associated receptor gene in a mammal
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes play a pivotal role in vertebrate self/nonself
recognition, parasite resistance and life history decisions. In evolutionary terms, the MHC's …

Implications of size‐selective fisheries on sexual selection
S Uusi‐Heikkilä - Evolutionary Applications, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Fisheries often combine high mortality with intensive size selectivity and can, thus, be
expected to reduce body size and size variability in exploited populations. In many fish …

Effects of ovarian fluid and genetic differences on sperm performance and fertilization success of alternative reproductive tactics in Chinook salmon
In many species, sperm velocity affects variation in the outcome of male competitive
fertilization success. In fishes, ovarian fluid (OF) released with the eggs can increase male …

Female sperm storage mediates post‐copulatory costs and benefits of ejaculate anticipatory plasticity in the guppy
Males of many species evolved the capability of adjusting their ejaculate phenotype in
response to social cues to match the expected mating conditions. When females store sperm …

Possible glimpses into early speciation: The effect of ovarian fluid on sperm velocity accords with post‐copulatory isolation between two guppy populations
Identifying mechanisms of reproductive isolation is key to understanding speciation. Among
the putative mechanisms underlying reproductive isolation, sperm–female interactions (post …
