Evolution of sex‐biased genes in Drosophila species with neo‐sex chromosomes: Potential contribution to reducing the sexual conflict
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.11701
Abstract: Abstract An advantage of sex chromosomes may be the potential to reduce sexual conflict because they provide a basis for selection to operate separately on females and males. However, evaluating the relationship between sex chromosomes… read more here.

Impact of male alternative reproductive tactics on female costs of sexual conflict under variation in operational sex ratio and population density

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3631
Abstract: Abstract Sexual conflict over mating rate is both pervasive and evolutionarily costly. For females, the lifetime reproductive fitness costs that arise through interactions with potential mates will be influenced by the frequency of such interactions,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2018.04.020
Abstract: Female-limited dimorphism is commonly hypothesized to be an adaptation resulting from male harassment or sexual conflict over female mating rate. We examined whether males discriminate between female colour morphs of the beautiful Hawaiian damselfly, Megalagrion… read more here.

Sexual conflict and the environment: teasing apart effects arising via males and females

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2020.01.010
Abstract: When males and females differ in their reproductive interests, each sex attempts to increase its own reproductive success, sometimes to the detriment of its mate. The environment that individuals experience has been shown to be… read more here.

Sexual homomorphism in dioecious trees: extensive tests fail to detect sexual dimorphism in Populus

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-01893-z
Abstract: The evolution of sexual dimorphism and expansion of sex chromosomes are both driven through sexual conflict, arising from differing fitness optima between males and females. Here, we pair work in poplar (Populus) describing one of… read more here.

Condition-transfer maternal effects modulate inter-locus sexual conflict
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Behavioral Ecology"
DOI: 10.1093/beheco/arad108
Abstract: Strong sexual selection frequently favors males that increase their reproductive success by harming females, with potentially negative consequences for natural populations. Understanding what factors modulate conflict between the sexes is hence critical to understand both… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/sysbio/syaa070
Abstract: Understanding the evolutionary mechanisms governing the uneven distribution of species richness across the tree of life is a great challenge in biology. Scientists have long argued that sexual conflict is a key driver of speciation.… read more here.

Thermal phenotypic plasticity of pre- and post-copulatory male harm buffers sexual conflict in wild Drosophila melanogaster

DOI: 10.1101/2022.11.10.515924
Abstract: Strong sexual selection frequently leads to sexual conflict and ensuing male harm, whereby males increase their reproductive success at the expense of harming females. Male harm is a widespread evolutionary phenomenon with a strong bearing… read more here.

Infection‐related sexual conflict in mating behaviors of wolf spiders

DOI: 10.1111/eth.13441
Abstract: Resistance to mating by females has been hypothesized as a tactic to assess potential mates and avoid undesirable ones. Previous studies show infection with the pathogenic bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, triggers a costly immune response and… read more here.

Consequences of population structure for sex allocation and sexual conflict
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of Evolutionary Biology"
DOI: 10.1111/jeb.13755
Abstract: Both sex allocation and sexual conflict can be modulated by spatial structure. However, how the interplay between the type of dispersal and the scale of competition simultaneously affects these traits in sub‐divided populations is rarely… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jeb.14114
Abstract: Nuptial food gift provisioning by males to females at mating is a strategy in many insects that is thought to be shaped by sexual conflict or sexual selection, as it affords males access to a… read more here.
