In species with separate sexes, females and males often differ in their morphology,
physiology and behaviour. Such sex‐specific traits are functionally linked to variation in …

Female genitalia have been largely neglected in studies of genital evolution, perhaps due to
the long‐standing belief that they are relatively invariable and therefore taxonomically and …

Inbreeding depression, the reduced fitness of the offspring of related individuals, can affect
males and females differently. Although a comprehensive theoretical framework describing …

The impact of sexual selection on the evolution of birds has been widely acknowledged.
Although sexual selection has been hypothesized as a driving force in the occurrences of …

Sexual size dimorphism has been widely observed in a large number of animals including
fish species. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) is a powerful tool to dissect the …

Studies investigating facial attractiveness in humans have frequently been limited to
studying the effect of individual morphological factors in isolation from other facial shape …

Cultural innovations, such as tools and other technical articles useful for survival, imply that
creativity is an outcome of evolution. However, the existence of purely ornamental items …

Bateman's principles, originally a test of Darwin's theoretical ideas, have since become
fundamental to sexual selection theory and vital to contextualizing the role of anisogamy in …

In mammals, sexual size dimorphism often reflects the intensity of sexual selection, yet its
connection to genomic evolution remains unexplored. Gene family size evolution can reflect …

Simple Summary Social inequality is pervasive in primates, with male-biased power often
assumed as the default condition. We tested this assumption with a broad dataset and …
