The evolution of male mate choice in insects: a synthesis of ideas and evidence.
TL;DR: The empirical evidence and theory pertaining to the evolution of male mate choice and sex role reversal in insects are synthesized, and the potential for male mating p to generate sexual selection on female phenotypes is examined.

Reproductive strategies of Atlantic salmon: ecology and evolution
TL;DR: While knowledge about the breeding of Atlantic salmon is detailed, it is only beginning to understand the ultimate causes and/or functional significances of their reproductive strategies, and predictive models of the life history variation are developing, focusing on the need for empirical study and testing of life history and reproductive patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sexual selection, honest advertisement and the handicap principle: reviewing the evidence
TL;DR: While some mating preferences did not originally evolve for adaptive reasons, others may or may not have done so, and a review of the published data reveals some support for the ideas of adaptive choice and honest advertisement.

Partial migration: niche shift versus sexual maturation in fishes
Bror Jonsson,Nina Jonsson +1 more
TL;DR: Partial migration appears to be partly developmental, depending on environmental conditions, and partly genetic, inherited as a quantitative trait influenced by a number of genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sexual selection in females
TL;DR: It is suggested that the mechanisms responsible for the evolution of secondary sexual characters in females are similar to those operating in males and include intrasexual competition between females for breeding opportunities, male mating preferences and female competition to attract mates.

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.

On territorial behavior and other factors influencing habitat distribution in birds
TL;DR: In this article, the Dickcissel sex ratio is employed as an indirect index of suitability and a sex ratio index was found to be correlated positively with density, consistent with the hypothesis that territorial behavior in males of this species limits their density.

Intra-sexual selection in Drosophila.
TL;DR: Epigamic selection includes the major part of what Darwin meant by sexual selection, and is introduced to apply to characters which increased the fertility of a given mating and therefore had a selective value for the species as a whole.
