DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5629
Abstract: Abstract Variation in intensity and targets of sexual selection on multiple traits has been suggested to play a major role in promoting phenotypic differentiation between populations, although the divergence in selection may depend on year,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00265-021-02968-8
Abstract: The possibility that sexual selection promotes adaptive evolution in variable environments remains controversial. In particular, where the scale of environmental variation results in parents and their offspring experiencing different environmental conditions, such variation is expected… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ygcen.2019.113354
Abstract: We review work relating glucocorticoids (GCs), male sexual signals, and mate choice by females to understand the potential for GCs to modulate the expression of sexually selected traits and how sexual selection potentially feeds back… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2020.0733
Abstract: The diversity of signalling traits within and across taxa is vast and striking, prompting us to consider how novelty evolves in the context of animal communication. Sexual selection contributes to diversification, and here we endeavour… read more here.
