DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2020.2938
Abstract: Socio-sexual selection is predicted to be an important driver of evolution, influencing speciation, extinction and adaptation. The fossil record provides a means of testing these predictions, but detecting its signature from morphological data alone is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12889-022-12901-x
Abstract: Background HIV self-testing (HIVST) has emerged as a way of reaching individuals who may be less likely to access testing, including men who have sex with men (MSM). Understanding the social networks of MSM is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1261/rna.059246.116
Abstract: Socio-sexual environments have profound effects on fitness. Local sex ratios can alter the threat of sexual competition, to which males respond via plasticity in reproductive behaviors and ejaculate composition. In Drosophila melanogaster, males detect the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnbeh.2020.606788
Abstract: Genetic disruption of the vomeronasal organ (VNO), an organ responsible for pheromone processing, drastically alters socio-sexual behavior in mice. However, it is not known whether the VNO has a role during the pubertal organizational period… read more here.

High Reproductive Success Despite Queuing – Socio-Sexual Development of Males in a Complex Social Environment

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2019.02810
Abstract: The start of actual breeding in male social mammals can occur long after individuals attain sexual maturity. Mainly prevented from reproduction by older and dominant males, young males often queue until strong enough to compete… read more here.
