Darwinian sex roles confirmed across the animal kingdom

T Janicke, IK Häderer, MJ Lajeunesse, N Anthes - Science advances, 2016 - science.org
Since Darwin’s conception of sexual selection theory, scientists have struggled to identify
the evolutionary forces underlying the pervasive differences between male and female …

Combining larval habitat quality and metapopulation structure – the key for successful management of pre-alpine Euphydryas aurinia colonies

N Anthes, T Fartmann, G Hermann, G Kaule - Journal of Insect …, 2003 - Springer
This study aims to analyse larval habitat preferences and landscape level population structure
of the threatened Marsh Fritillary butterfly, Euphydryas aurinia, and discusses implications …

Functions, diversity, and evolution of traumatic mating

…, K Reinhardt, NK Michiels, N Anthes - Biological …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Copulation can involve the wounding of the mating partner by specialised devices. This
type of mating, which we term traumatic mating, has been regarded as exceptional. Its …

[HTML][HTML] Red fluorescence in reef fish: a novel signalling mechanism?

NK Michiels, N Anthes, NS Hart, J Herler, AJ Meixner… - BMC ecology, 2008 - Springer
Background At depths below 10 m, reefs are dominated by blue-green light because seawater
selectively absorbs the longer, 'red' wavelengths beyond 600 nm from the downwelling …

Copulatory wounding and traumatic insemination

K Reinhardt, N Anthes, R Lange - Cold Spring Harbor …, 2015 - cshperspectives.cshlp.org
Copulatory wounding (CW) is widespread in the animal kingdom, but likely underreported
because of its cryptic nature. We use four case studies (Drosophila flies, Siphopteron slugs, …

Bateman gradients in hermaphrodites: an extended approach to quantify sexual selection

N Anthes, P David, JR Auld, JNA Hoffer… - The American …, 2010 - journals.uchicago.edu
Sexual selection is often quantified using Bateman gradients, which represent sex‐specific
regression slopes of reproductive success on mating success and thus describe the …

N Anthes, R Bergmüller, W Blanckenhorn… - 2010 - books.google.com
… Chapter 12 by Nils Anthes reminds most of us that sexual conflict and other sexual
behaviours are not limited to the all too familiar separate-sex animals. In simultaneous …

[HTML][HTML] Ratio of mitochondrial to nuclear DNA affects contamination estimates in ancient DNA analysis

…, I Siebke, N Steuri, A Hafner, S Lösch, N Anthes… - Scientific reports, 2018 - nature.com
In the last decade, ancient DNA research has grown rapidly and started to overcome several

Long‐term fallows rate best among agri‐environment scheme effects on farmland birds—A meta‐analysis

J Staggenborg, N Anthes - Conservation Letters, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Agri‐environment schemes (AES) serve to counteract the ongoing decline of farmland bird
populations, but their success remains controversial. We conducted a meta‐analysis to …

Measuring and interpreting sexual selection metrics: evaluation and guidelines

N Anthes, IK Häderer, NK Michiels… - Methods in Ecology …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Routine assessments of overall sexual selection, including comparisons of its direction and
intensity between sexes or species, rely on summary metrics that capture the essence of …
