Polygenic signals of sex differences in selection in humans from the UK Biobank (2022)
Journal Article
Ruzicka, F., Holman, L., & Connallon, T. (2022). Polygenic signals of sex differences in selection in humans from the UK Biobank. PLoS Biology, 20(9), Article e3001768. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.3001768

Sex differences in the fitness effects of genetic variants can influence the rate of adaptation and the maintenance of genetic variation. For example, “sexually antagonistic” (SA) variants, which are beneficial for one sex and harmful for the other,...

Experimental sexual selection affects the evolution of physiological and life‐history traits (2022)
Journal Article
Garlovsky, M. D., Holman, L., Brooks, A. L., Novicic, Z. K., & Snook, R. R. (2022). Experimental sexual selection affects the evolution of physiological and life‐history traits. Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 35(5), 742-751. https://doi.org/10.1111/je

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...

Social immunity in the honey bee: do immune-challenged workers enter enforced or self-imposed exile? (2022)
Journal Article
Conroy, T. E., & Holman, L. (2022). Social immunity in the honey bee: do immune-challenged workers enter enforced or self-imposed exile?. Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 76(2), Article 32. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00265-022-03139-z

Animals living in large colonies are especially vulnerable to infectious pathogens and may therefore have evolved additional defences. Eusocial insects supplement their physiological immune systems with ‘social immunity’, a set of adaptations that im...
