Theory suggests that male fitness generally increases steadily with mating rate, while one or
a few matings are sufficient for females to maximize their reproductive success. Contrary to …

Sexual conflict occurs when the genetic interests of males and females diverge. Recent
evidence supporting the view that male and female genomes are in conflict has now …

The growing number of empirical studies performed in ecology and evolution creates a
need for quantitative summaries of research domains to generate higher-order conclusions …

… Göran Arnqvist and Locke Rowe present an array of evidence for sexual conflict throughout
nature, and they set these conflicts into the well-established theoretical framework of sexual …

Rapid divergent evolution of male genitalia is one of the most general evolutionary trends in
animals with internal fertilization; the shapes of genital traits often provide the only reliable …

In coevolutionary ‘arms races’ between the sexes, the outcome of antagonistic interactions
may remain at an evolutionary standstill. The advantage gained by one sex, with any …

… This microevolutionary scenario has been studied in detail for a male grasping trait in the
water strider G. odontogaster. In this species, female resistance to mate selects for long …

Speciation rates among extant lineages of organisms vary extensively, but our understanding
of the causes of this variation and, therefore, the processes of speciation is still remarkably …
