Most models of ecological and eco‐evolutionary processes involve creating trajectories of
something, be it population densities, average trait values, or environmental states, over …

Theory suggests that occasional or conditional sex involving facultative switching between
sexual and asexual reproduction is the optimal reproductive strategy. Therefore, the true …

Whether sexual selection impedes or aids adaptation has become an outstanding question
in times of rapid environmental change and parallels the debate about how the evolution of …

Biological diversity abounds in potential study topics. Studies of model systems have their
advantages, but reliance on a few well-understood cases may create false impressions of …

In facultatively parthenogenetic populations, the prevalence of sexual reproduction depends
on whether females mate and therefore produce sons and daughters or avoid mating and …

The outcome of competition between different reproductive strategies within a single species
can be used to infer selective advantage of the winning strategy. Where multiple populations …

Transitions from sexual to asexual reproduction have occurred in numerous lineages, but it
remains unclear why asexual populations rarely persist. In facultatively parthenogenetic …

Sexual reproduction implies binary outcomes of competitive interactions for access to male
gametes: lifelong virgin females with null fitness vs. mated females with variable (generally …

The life histories of marine invertebrates are incredibly diverse and provide a wealth of
opportunities to develop and test hypotheses about how and why modes of reproduction …

Obligately asexual organisms tend to occur at higher altitudes or latitudes and occupy larger
ranges than their obligately sexual relatives—a phenomenon called geographical …
