Journal ArticleDOI
Sperm in competition: not playing by the numbers.
TL;DR: To understand how postcopulatory sexual selection influences sperm traits, future research should determine sex-specific interactions that influence paternity, identify genetic correlations between ejaculate characters, quantify the relative costs of producing different sperm trait, and test assumptions of models of sperm quality evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
What do we need to know about speciation
Roger K. Butlin,Allan Debelle,Claudius Kerth,Rhonda R. Snook,Leo W. Beukeboom,Ruth F Castillo Cajas,Wenwen Diao,Martine E. Maan,Silvia Paolucci,Franz J. Weissing,Louis van de Zande,Anneli Hoikkala,Elzemiek Geuverink,Jackson H. Jennings,Maaria Kankare,K. Emily Knott,Venera Tyukmaeva,Christos Zoumadakis,Michael G. Ritchie,Daniel Barker,Elina Immonen,Mark Kirkpatrick,Mohamed A. F. Noor,Constantino Macías Garcia,Thomas Schmitt,Menno Schilthuizen +25 more
TL;DR: A distillation of questions about the mechanisms of speciation, the genetic basis of speciating and the relationship between speciation and diversity are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sperm death and dumping in Drosophila
Rhonda R. Snook,David J. Hosken +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that seminal fluids do not kill rival sperm and that any 'incapacitation' is probably due to sperm ageing during sperm storage, and that females release stored sperm from the reproductive tract after copulation with a second male and that this requires neither incoming sperm nor seminal fluids.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Impact of Climate Change on Fertility
Benjamin S. Walsh,Steven R. Parratt,Ary A. Hoffmann,David Atkinson,Rhonda R. Snook,Amanda Bretman,Tom A. R. Price +6 more
TL;DR: It is argued that studies examining the ecological and evolutionary impacts of climate change should consider the 'thermal fertility limit' (TFL) of species; and a framework for the design of TFL studies across taxa be developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perspective: sexual conflict and sexual selection: chasing away paradigm shifts.
Tommaso Pizzari,Rhonda R. Snook +1 more
TL;DR: This paper considers the criteria necessary to demonstrate the chase‐away hypothesis, and suggests an alternative approach to demonstrate sexual conflict, measure the intensity of sexually antagonistic selection in a population, and elucidate the coevolutionary trajectories of the sexes.
