The consequences of polyandry for female fitness are controversial. Sexual conflict studies
and a meta‐analysis of mating rates in insects suggest that there is a longevity cost when …

In this trans-ethnic multi-omic study, we reinterpret the genetic architecture of blood
pressure to identify genes, tissues, phenomes and medication contexts of blood pressure …

Compelling evidence from many animal taxa indicates that male genitalia are often under
postcopulatory sexual selection for characteristics that increase a male’s relative fertilization …

There are two reasons why researchers are interested in the phenotypic relationship between
the expression of male secondary sexual characters ( SSCs ) and ‘ejaculate quality’ (…

Although females’ mating preferences are influenced by male characteristics, there are a
number of factors intrinsic to females and unrelated to male phenotype that can modulate …

Sperm-egg interaction is a crucial step in fertilization, yet the identity of most interacting
sperm-egg proteins that mediate this process remains elusive. Rapid evolution of some …

Dietary restriction (DR) is a well-established intervention to extend lifespan across taxa. Recent
studies suggest that DR-driven lifespan extension can be cost-free, calling into question …

Recent studies suggest that males might respond in an adaptive manner to an elevated
likelihood of male–male competition for mates by facultatively altering their mating preferences. …

Few studies have simultaneously compared ageing within genetically similar populations in
both laboratory and natural environments. Such comparisons are important for interpreting …

Variability in quantitative traits has clinical, ecological, and evolutionary significance. Most
genetic variants identified for complex quantitative traits have only a detectable effect on the …
