Sperm competition was identified in 1970 as a pervasive selective force in post‐copulatory
sexual selection that occurs when the ejaculates of different males compete to fertilise a …

The consequences of polyandry for female fitness are controversial. Sexual conflict studies
and a meta‐analysis of mating rates in insects suggest that there is a longevity cost when …

Here, we review the recently burgeoning literature on color polymorphisms, seeking to
integrate studies of the maintenance of genetic variation and the evolution of reproductive …

Charles Darwin laid the foundation for all modern work on sexual selection in his seminal
book The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex. In this work, Darwin fleshed out …

Sexual reproduction is associated with the evolution of anisogamy and sperm-producing

Sexual segregation occurs when members of a species separate such that the sexes live
apart, either singly or in single‐sex groups. It can be broadly categorised into two types …
