    John M McNamara
    Department of Mathematics, University of Bristol, University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TW, UK
    Proc Biol Sci 276:953-60. 2009
    ..Due to the mutual feedback between coyness and helpfulness in our model, alternatively stable evolutionary outcomes (with or without coyness) are possible under broad conditions. We also discuss alternative interpretations of coyness...

  6. ncbi Evolution of mate choice for genome-wide heterozygosity
    Lutz Fromhage
    School of Biological Sciences, University of Bristol, Woodland Road, Bristol, BS8 1UG, United Kingdom
    Evolution 63:684-94. 2009
    ..These results suggest that directional preferences for heterozygous or outbred mates could evolve and be maintained in finite populations in the absence of direct fitness benefits, suggesting a novel resolution to the lek paradox...
  7. ncbi Sperm allocation strategies and female resistance: a unifying perspective
    Lutz Fromhage
    School of Biological Sciences, University of Bristol, Woodland Road, Bristol BS8 1UG, United Kingdom
    Am Nat 172:25-33. 2008
    ..This result strengthens one of the central predictions of sperm competition theory and is in accordance with empirical findings from a wide range of taxa...

    Lutz Fromhage
    School of Biological Sciences, University of Bristol, Woodland Road, Bristol BS8 1UG, UK
    J Theor Biol 250:524-31. 2008
    ..There is also a narrow range of conditions where either monogyny or bigyny can be evolutionarily stable. Our results are in qualitative agreement with empirical findings in spiders...

    John M McNamara
    Department of Mathematics, University of Bristol, University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TW, UK
    Nature 451:189-92. 2008
    ..Because our model does not invoke complex mechanisms such as negotiation behaviour, it can be applied to a wide range of species. The results suggest an important role of lifespan in the evolution of cooperation...

    John M McNamara
    Department of Mathematics, University of Bristol, University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TW, UK

    Biol Lett 3:234-6. 2007
    ..We reject the claim that fitness gains through male care are intrinsically less valuable than those through desertion, and that the former must therefore be down-weighted by 1/2 when compared with the latter...
