Sexual selection and its evolutionary consequences in female animals
RM Hare, LW Simmons - Biological Reviews, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
For sexual selection to act on a given sex, there must exist variation in the reproductive
success of that sex as a result of differential access to mates or fertilisations. The …

Reproductive investment and fecundity of Pacific crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster cf. solaris) on the Great Barrier Reef
Crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster spp.) is reported to have exceptional reproductive
