Inspection of the data that accompany Pruitt and Krauel's study of individual variation in satiation threshold and a comparison of these data with the Materials and Methods and Results sections of the paper have revealed a number of issues that cast...

Sexual selection can partly explain low frequencies of Segregation Distorter alleles (2021)
Journal Article
Keaney, T. A., Jones, T. M., & Holman, L. (2021). Sexual selection can partly explain low frequencies of Segregation Distorter alleles. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 288(1959), https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2021.1190

The Segregation Distorter (SD) allele found in Drosophila melanogaster distorts Mendelian inheritance in heterozygous males by causing developmental failure of non-SD spermatids, such that greater than 90% of the surviving sperm carry SD. This within... Read More about Sexual selection can partly explain low frequencies of Segregation Distorter alleles.

Sexual selection affects the evolution of physiological and life history traits (2021)

Snook, R. R., Brooks, A. L., Holman, L., & Garlovsky, S. D. Sexual selection affects the evolution of physiological and life history traits

Sexual selection and sexual conflict are expected to affect all aspects of the phenotype, not only traits that are directly involved in reproduction. Here, we show coordinated evolution of multiple physiological and life history traits in response to...

Male‐biased sexual selection, but not sexual dichromatism, predicts speciation in birds (2021)
Journal Article
Cally, J. G., Stuart‐Fox, D., Holman, L., Dale, J., & Medina, I. (2021). Male‐biased sexual selection, but not sexual dichromatism, predicts speciation in birds. Evolution, 75(4), 931-944. https://doi.org/10.1111/evo.14183

Sexual selection is thought to shape phylogenetic diversity by affecting speciation or extinction rates. However, the net effect of sexual selection on diversification is hard to predict because many of the hypothesized effects on speciation or extin...
