Male mate choice in livebearing fishes: an overview
I Schlupp - Current Zoology, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Although the majority of studies on mate choice focus on female mate choice, there is
growing recognition of the role of male mate choice too. Male mate choice is tightly linked to …

Strategic adjustment of ejaculate quality in response to variation of the socio-sexual environment
M Magris - Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2021 - Springer
Strategic ejaculate adjustments occur when males modify their investment in sperm and
nonsperm components of the ejaculate according to the context. This strategy is expected to …

Females discriminate against heterospecific sperm in a natural hybrid zone
When hybridization is maladaptive, species‐specific mate preferences are selectively
favored, but low mate availability may constrain species‐assortative pairing. Females paired …

Effects of ovarian fluid on sperm traits and its implications for cryptic female choice in zebrafish
In polyandrous mating systems, females maintain the opportunity to bias male fertilization
success after mating in a process known as cryptic female choice. Mechanisms of cryptic …

An endocrine-disrupting agricultural contaminant impacts sequential female mate choice in fish
P Tomkins, M Saaristo, MG Bertram… - Environmental …, 2018 - Elsevier
The environmental impact of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs)—compounds that

Major histocompatibility complex similarity and sexual selection: different does not always mean attractive
Females that mate multiply have the possibility to exert postcopulatory choice and select
more compatible sperm to fertilize eggs. Prior work suggests that dissimilarity in major …

Female reproductive fluid increases the opportunities for postmating sexual selection by prolonging the egg fertilization window
Female reproductive fluid (the fluid that surrounds the eggs) has attracted increasing
attention for its role in fertilization and postmating sexual selection through its effects on …

Possible glimpses into early speciation: The effect of ovarian fluid on sperm velocity accords with post‐copulatory isolation between two guppy populations
Identifying mechanisms of reproductive isolation is key to understanding speciation. Among
the putative mechanisms underlying reproductive isolation, sperm–female interactions (post …

Ovarian fluid impacts flagellar beating and biomechanical metrics of sperm between alternative reproductive tactics
Alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs) are prevalent in nature, where smaller parasitic
males typically have better sperm quality than larger territorial guard males. At present, it is …

Sneaker “jack” males outcompete dominant “hooknose” males under sperm competition in Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)
In a variety of taxa, males deploy alternative reproductive tactics to secure fertilizations. In
many species, small “sneaker” males attempt to steal fertilizations while avoiding encounters …
