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 …

Diversity in warning coloration: selective paradox or the norm?
Aposematic theory has historically predicted that predators should select for warning signals
to converge on a single form, as a result of frequency‐dependent learning. However …

Lifetime fitness and age‐related female ornament signalling: evidence for survival and fecundity selection in the pied flycatcher
Ornaments displayed by females have often been denied evolutionary interest due to their
frequently reduced expression relative to males, habitually attributed to a genetic correlation …

Testosterone activates sexual dimorphism including male-typical carotenoid but not melanin plumage pigmentation in a female bird
In males it is frequently testosterone (T) that activates the expression of sexually selected
morphological and behavioral displays, but the role of T in regulating similar traits in females …

Evolution of female coloration: what have we learned from birds in general and blue tits in particular
Female ornaments have long been considered non-functional, but a paradigm shift has
occurred over the 2 last decades. The adaptive nature of female ornaments is now widely …

[图书][B] Evolution of vulnerability: Implications for sex differences in health and development
DC Geary - 2015 - books.google.com
Biologists have known for decades that many traits involved in competition for mates or other
resources and that influence mate choice are exaggerated, and their expression is …

The condition dependence of a secondary sexual trait is stronger under high parasite infection level
Indicator models of sexual selection predict that the expression of sexual ornaments should
be condition dependent. This is only partly supported by data, as many studies do not find …

Sex-specific relationships between urbanization, parasitism, and plumage coloration in house finches
Historically, studies of condition-dependent signals in animals have been male-centric, but
recent work suggests that female ornaments can also communicate individual quality (eg …
