The aim of this review is to consider the potential benefits that females may gain from mating
more than once in a single reproductive cycle. The relationship between non-genetic and …

Evolutionary theory is firmly grounded on the existence of trade-offs between life-history
traits, and recent interest has centred on the physiological mechanisms underlying such …

Reproductive Biology of Teleost Fishes is the first integrated review of the reproductive
biology of the bony fishes, which are the most species-rich and diversified group of …

This book celebrates the guppy's unique contribution to evolutionary ecology. Ever since
Caryl Haskins described guppy populations as a'natural experiment'because of the way …

The female reproductive tract is where competition between the sperm of different males
takes place, aided and abetted by the female herself. Intense postcopulatory sexual …

Chemical signals are omnipresent in sexual communication in the vast majority of living
organisms. The traditional paradigm was that their main purpose in sexual behaviour was to …

The relationship between mechanical power output and forward velocity in bird flight is
controversial, bearing on the comparative physiology and ecology of locomotion,. Applied to …

Postcopulatory sexual selection comprises both sperm competition, where the sperm from
different males compete for fertilization, and cryptic female choice, where females bias …

We investigated a potential mechanism for the estrogenic properties of three chloro-s-
triazine herbicides and six metabolites in vitro in several cell systems. We determined effects …

It is well known that sexual selection can target reproductive traits during successive pre‐
and post‐mating episodes of selection. A key focus of recent studies has been to understand …
