DOI: 10.1002/ps.4678
Abstract: BACKGROUND Azadirachtin is a prominent natural pesticide and represents an alternative to conventional insecticides. It has been successfully used against insect pests. However, its effects on reproduction require further analysis. Here we investigated lethal and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.beproc.2019.103921
Abstract: In a mating system in which females are monandrous and males are polygynous, females may incur a risk by mating with males with possible sperm depletion following consecutive matings. Here, we examined the effects of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.evolhumbehav.2016.06.006
Abstract: Abstract Psychoactive substance use has been typical of most traditional and modern societies and is maintained in the population despite the potential for abuse and related harms, raising the possibility that it (or its underlying… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.evolhumbehav.2017.08.002
Abstract: Abstract Developmental instability (DI) has been proposed to relate negatively to aspects of evolutionary fitness, like mating success. One suggested indicator is fluctuating asymmetry (FA), random deviations from perfect symmetry in bilateral bodily traits. A… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.evolhumbehav.2018.07.001
Abstract: Abstract Beyond the linguistic content of their speech, speakers of both sexes convey diverse biological and psychosocial information through their voices, which are important when assessing potential mates and competitors. However, studies investigating the relationships… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-24518-5
Abstract: Males of Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae) are strongly attracted to methyl eugenol (ME) (1,2-dimethoxy-4-(2-propenyl)benzene), a phenylpropanoid compound occurring in many plant species. Feeding on ME is known to enhance male B. dorsalis mating competitiveness,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/09553002.2021.1876954
Abstract: Abstract Purpose Ionizing radiation is well known to have drastic impacts on major life history features including survivorship, growth, fertility, and longevity. What is much less appreciated is how radiation stress can cause changes to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/cz/zoy017
Abstract: Abstract The maintenance of genetic variation in the face of natural selection is a long-standing question in evolutionary biology. In the bluefin killifish Lucania goodei, male coloration is polymorphic. Males can produce either red or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2017.0565
Abstract: Antlers function as primary weapons during fights for many species of ungulate. We examined the association between antler damage and (i) contest dynamics: the behavioural tactics used during fighting including fight duration, and (ii) mating… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2022.0052
Abstract: The evolution of complex signals has often been explored by testing multiple functional hypotheses regarding how independent signal components provide selective benefits to offset the costs of their production. In the present study, we take… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2656.12610
Abstract: Despite a central line of research aimed at quantifying relationships between mating success and sexually dimorphic traits (e.g., ornaments), individual variation in sexually selected traits often explains only a modest portion of the variation in… read more here.
