In species with separate sexes, females and males often differ in their morphology,
physiology and behaviour. Such sex‐specific traits are functionally linked to variation in …

Sexual selection can explain major micro‐and macro‐evolutionary patterns. Much of current
theory predicts that the strength of sexual selection (i) is driven by the relative abundance of …

Reproductive Biology of Teleost Fishes is the first integrated review of the reproductive
biology of the bony fishes, which are the most species-rich and diversified group of …

Theoretical models suggest that geographic overlap with different heterospecific
assemblages can promote divergence of mate recognition systems among conspecific …

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 …

Understanding the impact of demographic and ecological factors on the strength of sexual
selection is pivotal to predict eco‐evolutionary dynamics in populations facing …

Deleterious mutations can accumulate in the germline with age, decreasing the genetic
quality of sperm and imposing a cost on female fitness. If these mutations also affect sperm …

Sexual selection arises from social interactions, and if social environments vary so too
should sexual selection. For example, male–male competition often occurs either in the …

Recent studies suggest that environmentally induced effects on sperm phenotype can
influence offspring phenotype beyond the classic Mendelian inheritance mechanism …

The operational sex ratio (OSR) and density are considered important factors affecting the
strength of sexual selection. Although there is increasing evidence that OSR and density …
