Journal ArticleDOI
Sex differences in human mate preferences: Evolutionary hypotheses tested in 37 cultures
TL;DR: For example, this paper found that females value cues to resource acquisition in potential mates more highly than males, while males valued earning capacity, ambition, industriousness, youth, physical attractiveness, and chastity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mating systems, philopatry and dispersal in birds and mammals
TL;DR: It is argued that the direction of the sex bias is a consequence of the type of mating system, and Philopatry will favour the evolution of cooperative traits between members of the sedentary sex.
Journal ArticleDOI
The "Challenge Hypothesis": Theoretical Implications for Patterns of Testosterone Secretion, Mating Systems, and Breeding Strategies
TL;DR: This model indicates that there may be widely different hormonal responses to male-male and male-female interactions and presumably equally plastic neural mechanisms for the transduction of these signals into endocrine secretions.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Ecological Model of Female-Bonded Primate Groups
TL;DR: A model is presented to account for the evolution of FB groups in terms of ecological pressures on female relationships and suggests that relationships in most FB groups are ultimately related to feeding competition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sexual dimorphism, sexual selection, and adaptation in polygenic characters.
TL;DR: Sexual dimorphism may result from natural and/or sexual selection, and systems of mating are often thought to evolve in response to ecological pressures, although mating preferences may be self-reinforcing.

The Genetical Evolution of Social Behaviour. I
TL;DR: A genetical mathematical model is described which allows for interactions between relatives on one another's fitness and a quantity is found which incorporates the maximizing property of Darwinian fitness, named “inclusive fitness”.
Book
The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex
TL;DR: In this paper, secondary sexual characters of fishes, amphibians and reptiles are presented. But the authors focus on the secondary sexual characteristics of fishes and amphibians rather than the primary sexual characters.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Evolution of Reciprocal Altruism
TL;DR: In this paper, a model is presented to account for the natural selection of what is termed reciprocally altruistic behavior, and the model shows how selection can operate against the cheater (non-reciprocator) in the system.
