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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
