Abstract: Male-male combats over females and territories are widespread across animal taxa. The winner of a combat gains resources, while the loser suffers significant costs (e.g. time, energy and injury) without gaining resources. Many animals have… read more here.

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.

How inversion variants can shape neural circuitry: Insights from the three-morph mating tactics of ruffs

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.1011629
Abstract: Behavior polymorphisms underlying alternative mating tactics can evolve due to genetic inversions, especially when inversions capture sets of genes involved in hormonal regulation. In the three-morph system of the ruff (Calidris pugnax), two alternative morphs… read more here.
