Abstract: ABSTRACT Sexual selection is not a single process. Instead, multiple processes of sexual selection can interact with respect to a given phenotype, in either reinforcing, independent, or conflicting directions. Here we consider how different processes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-08113-w
Abstract: Polyandry prolongs sexual selection on males by forcing ejaculates to compete for fertilisation. Recent theory predicts that increasing polyandry may weaken pre-copulatory sexual selection on males and increase the relative importance of post-copulatory sexual selection,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/eth.13519
Abstract: Pre‐copulatory sexual cannibalism is an extreme form of aggression toward potential mates. In this study, we examined condition‐dependent female aggression and its effects on mating success and frequency of pre‐copulatory sexual cannibalism in the jumping… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jav.01694
Abstract: Theoretical models predict that investment in pre‐copulatory and post‐copulatory sexually selected traits should trade‐off. At the macroevolutionary scale, the majority of studies to date have focused on male weaponry as the target of pre‐copulatory sexual… read more here.

Pre‐ and post‐copulatory sexual selection increase offspring quality but impose survival costs to female field crickets

DOI: 10.1111/jeb.14132
Abstract: Whether sexual selection increases or decreases fitness is under ongoing debate. Sexual selection operates before and after mating. Yet, the effects of each episode of selection on individual reproductive success remain largely unexplored. We ask… read more here.
