  1. ncbi Sexually antagonistic selection, sexual dimorphism, and the resolution of intralocus sexual conflict
    Robert M Cox
    Department of Biological Sciences, Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire 03755, USA
    Am Nat 173:176-87. 2009
    ..Our results suggest that intralocus sexual conflict often may persist despite the evolution of sexual dimorphism...
  2. ncbi Cryptic sex-ratio bias provides indirect genetic benefits despite sexual conflict
    Robert M Cox
    Department of Biological Sciences, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH 03755, USA
    Science 328:92-4. 2010
    ..These results illustrate how the resolution of sexual conflict can restore the genetic benefits of mate choice...
  3. ncbi Experimentally assessing the relative importance of predation and competition as agents of selection
    Ryan Calsbeek
    Department of Biological Sciences, Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire 03755, USA
    Nature 465:613-6. 2010
    ..Our results from A. sagrei are consistent with the hypothesis that intraspecific competition is more important than predation in shaping the selective landscape for traits central to the adaptive radiation of Anolis ecomorphs...
  4. ncbi Paternal condition drives progeny sex-ratio bias in a lizard that lacks parental care
    Robert M Cox
    Department of Biological Sciences, Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire 03755, USA
    Evolution 65:220-30. 2011
    ..Our results emphasize the importance of considering the paternal phenotype in studies of sex allocation and highlight the need for further research into the pathways that link paternal condition to progeny fitness...
  5. ncbi Severe costs of reproduction persist in Anolis lizards despite the evolution of a single-egg clutch
    Robert M Cox
    Department of Biological Sciences, Dartmouth College, 401 Gilman Hall, Hanover, New Hampshire 03755, USA
    Evolution 64:1321-30. 2010
    ..Our results provide clear experimental support for a central tenet of life-history theory and show that costs of reproduction persist in anoles despite the evolution of a single-egg clutch...
  6. ncbi Invasive predators deplete genetic diversity of island lizards
    Amandine Gasc
    Department of Biological Sciences, Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire, United States of America
    PLoS ONE 5:e12061. 2010
    ..Our results provide partial support for the hypothesis that invasive predators can impact the genetic diversity of resident island populations...
  7. ncbi Sex-specific selection and intraspecific variation in sexual size dimorphism
    Robert M Cox
    Dartmouth College, Biological Sciences, 401 Gilman Hall, Hanover, New Hampshire 03755, USA
    Evolution 64:798-809. 2010
    ..We propose that this energetic constraint disproportionately impacts growth of males due to their greater absolute energy requirements, thus driving intraspecific variation in SSD...
