Cress, Zachary Pierce (2009-05-15)Swordtail fishes of the genus Xiphophorus have been studied as a model of sexual selection for many years. Many single-trait manipulation studies have been performed, determining female preferences for individual male ...
-
Small, Clayton (2012-10-19)Sexual selection has long been a working explanation for the elaboration of appreciable traits in plants and animals, but the idea that it is an equally potent agent of change at the level of individual molecules is ...

Mobley, Kenyon Brice (2009-06-02)Understanding the processes that govern mating behaviors is a fundamental goal of evolutionary biology and behavioral ecology. Population-level patterns of mate acquisition and offspring production, otherwise known as the ...
-
Carlson, Charles (2012-02-14)The presence of parasites in a population has an impact on mate choice and has substantial evolutionary significance. A relatively unexplored aspect of this dynamic is whether or not the presence of parasites increases ...
