Chemical contaminants (eg metals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals) are changing ecosystems
via effects on wildlife. Indeed, recent work explicitly performed under environmentally …

Decades of research have illuminated the underlying ingredients that determine the scope
of evolutionary responses to climate change. The field of evolutionary biology therefore …

How populations and species respond to modified environmental conditions is critical to
their persistence both now and into the future, particularly given the increasing pace of …

Sexual selection has the potential to decrease mean fitness in a population through an array
of costs to nonsexual fitness. These costs may be offset when sexual selection favors …

The evolution of costly traits such as deer antlers and peacock trains, which drove the
formation of Darwinian sexual selection theory, has been suggested to both reflect and affect …

ABSTRACT A central question in ecology and evolution is to understand why sexual
selection varies so much in strength across taxa; it has long been known that ecological …

Human activities by altering environmental conditions are influencing the mate choice of
animals. This is by impacts on:(i) the production and expression of traits evaluated by mate …

Sexual selection favours traits that confer advantages in the competition for mates. In many
cases, such traits are costly to produce and maintain, because the costs help to enforce the …

Large Old World fruit bats (LOWFBs), species of Pteropus, Acerodon, and related genera of
large bats in the pteropodid subfamily Pteropodinae, play important roles as agents of …

The research framework of eco‐evolutionary dynamics is increasing in popularity, as
revealed by a steady stream of review articles and a recent and influential book, but primary …
