Abstract: Female promiscuity is a pervasive selective force on male reproductive traits, and the strength of sexual selection is predicted to influence the tradeoff between lifespan and reproduction. In species where sexual selection is intense, males… read more here.

Abstract: Mating rate optima often differ between the sexes: males may increase their fitness by multiple mating, but for females multiple mating confers little benefit and can often be costly (especially in taxa without nuptial gifts… read more here.
