Dynamic resource allocation between pre- and postcopulatory episodes of sexual selection determines competitive fertilization success.
In polyandrous mating systems, male reproductive success depends on both mate-acquisition traits (precopulatory) and sperm competitive abilities (postcopulatory). Empirical data on the interaction between these traits are inconsistent; revealing positive, negative or no relationships. It is generally expected that the investment in pre- and postcopulatory traits is mediated by environmental con...
متن کاملPostcopulatory Sexual Selection Generates Speciation Phenotypes in Drosophila
BACKGROUND Identifying traits that reproductively isolate species, and the selective forces underlying their divergence, is a central goal of evolutionary biology and speciation research. There is growing recognition that postcopulatory sexual selection, which can drive rapid diversification of interacting ejaculate and female reproductive tract traits that mediate sperm competition, may be an ...
متن کاملCondition-dependent expression of pre- and postcopulatory sexual traits in guppies
Female choice can impose persistent directional selection on male sexually selected traits, yet such traits often exhibit high levels of phenotypic variation. One explanation for this paradox is that if sexually selected traits are costly, only the fittest males are able to acquire and allocate the resources required for their expression. Furthermore, because male condition is dependent on reso...
متن کاملCorrelated evolution between targets of pre‐ and postcopulatory sexual selection across squamate reptiles
Sexual selection reflects the joint contributions of precopulatory selection, which arises from variance in mating success, and postcopulatory selection, which arises from variance in fertilization success. The relative importance of each episode of selection is variable among species, and comparative evidence suggests that traits targeted by precopulatory selection often covary in expression w...
متن کاملRelationships between personality traits and positive/negative sexual cognitions
*Corresponding author at: Facultad de Psicología, Campus Universitario de Cartuja, s/n, 18011 Granada, Spain. E-mail address: [email protected] (J.C. Sierra). Abstract In this study we examined the relationship between gender, age, religion, neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, and obsessiveness on one side and the frequency and content of sexual cognitions experienced as being posi...
