The coevolution of sex-specific dominance and allelic diversity at sexually antagonistic loci

The paper models how sex-specific dominance and allelic diversity coevolve at sexually antagonistic loci, showing that weak selection can lead to polyallelic polymorphism and reduced segregation load.

A shared genetic basis for sexually antagonistic male and female adaptations in the toothed water strider

The paper investigates whether male and female sexually antagonistic traits in water striders share a genetic basis, finding they are linked to a common developmental genetic program.

A possible genomic footprint of polygenic adaptation on population divergence in seed beetles?

The paper investigates whether stabilizing selection on polygenic metabolic traits drives population divergence in seed beetles by analyzing genetic differentiation and functional enrichment.

Sexual conflict drives micro- and macroevolution of sexual dimorphism in immunity

This study shows that sexual conflict influences sexual dimorphism in immunity through molecular and phenotypic changes in seed beetles.

Selection in males purges the mutation load on female fitness

This study shows that recessive deleterious alleles are more effectively purged by selection in males than females in Callosobruchus maculatus seed beetles, suggesting a benefit to sexual reproduction.

Sexual selection, environmental robustness and evolutionary demography of maladapted populations: a test using experimental evolution in seed beetles.

This study tests how sexual selection affects adaptation in seed beetles under different mating regimes and environmental stress, finding sex-specific impacts on reproductive success and population viability.

The efficacy of sexual selection under environmental change

The paper shows that sexual selection becomes less effective under environmental stress, reducing its ability to aid adaptation.

Postmating sexual selection and the enigmatic jawed genitalia of Callosobruchus subinnotatus

The study investigates the function of jaw-like male genitalia in Callosobruchus subinnotatus by ablation experiments, finding that these structures increase female egg production rather than sperm competition success.
