Abstract: Abstract The coexistence of distinct alternative mating strategies (AMS) is often explained by mechanisms involving trade‐offs between reproductive traits and lifetime fitness; yet their relative importance remains poorly understood. Here, we used an established individual‐based,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-73500-x
Abstract: The existence of different male morphologies within a single species is associated with alternative mating tactics across different animal groups, offering textbook examples of evolutionary biology. The European stag beetle Lucanus cervus is a flagship… read more here.

Alternative Mating Tactics in Socially Monogamous Prairie Voles, Microtus ochrogaster

DOI: 10.3389/fevo.2019.00007
Abstract: ABSTRACT: Alternative mating tactics appear to evolve when sexual selection is strong. Because such conditions are usually observed in species with polygynous or polyandrous mating systems, alternative mating tactics in monogamous mating systems are seldom… read more here.
