Sexually antagonistic male adaptation triggered by experimental arrest of female evolutionW R Rice
Department of Biology, University of California, Santa Cruz 95064, USA
Nature 381:232-4. 1996..This male adaptation leads to a reduction in female survivorship, which is mediated by an increased rate of remating and increased toxicity of seminal fluid...
Sexual recombination and the power of natural selectionW R Rice
Department of Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93106 9610, USA
Science 294:555-9. 2001..An intrinsic advantage to recombination was demonstrated by the finding that the realized strength of selection on new mutations was markedly increased when recombination was present...
Sexy sons from re-mating do not recoup the direct costs of harmful male interactions in the Drosophila melanogaster laboratory model systemN Orteiza
Department of Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara 93106-9610, USA
J Evol Biol 18:1315-23. 2005..These data, in combination with past studies of the good genes route of indirect benefits, demonstrate that inter-sexual interactions drive sexually antagonistic co-evolution in this model system...
Negative genetic correlation for adult fitness between sexes reveals ontogenetic conflict in DrosophilaA K Chippindale
Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93106 9610, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 98:1671-5. 2001..These results demonstrate strong intersexual discord during development because of the expression of sexually antagonistic variation...
Sexual conflict is not counterbalanced by good genes in the laboratory Drosophila melanogaster model systemA D Stewart
Department of Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93101 9610, USA
J Evol Biol 21:1808-13. 2008..We find that despite high-standing genetic variance for fitness, females gain at most only a modest benefit through the good genes form of indirect benefits--far too little to counterbalance the direct cost of male-induced harm...
Experimental removal of sexual selection reverses intersexual antagonistic coevolution and removes a reproductive loadB Holland
Department of Biological Sciences, University of California, Santa Cruz, CA 95064, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 96:5083-8. 1999..The monogamous populations also evolved a greater net reproductive rate than their promiscuous controls. These results indicate a potentially widespread cost of sexual selection caused by conflicts inherent to promiscuity...
Y chromosome polymorphism is a strong determinant of male fitness in Drosophila melanogasterA K Chippindale
Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93106, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 98:5677-82. 2001....
Natural selection and genetic variation for female resistance to harm from malesJ E Linder
Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93106-9610, USA
J Evol Biol 18:568-75. 2005....
