1. The Evolution of Sexually Homologous Ornaments : Selection via Male Mate Choice Coinciding with Male-Male Competition in a Neotropical Mosquito
Sammanfattning : The evolution of elaborate male ornaments via sexual selection is well-understood while the selective pressures acting on female ornaments remains unresolved. Female ornaments in species with strong sexual selection on the male homologue of the ornament were originally thought to result from an intersexual genetic correlation. LÄS MER
2. Female Reproductive Strategies in the Ruff (Philomachus pugnax)
Sammanfattning : Traditionally, females have been considered to be strictly monogamous. Today, we know that females in the majority of species actively seek out and mate with several males. Trying to understand female preferences, including what benefits mate choice entails, has been the focus of intense research during the last decades. LÄS MER
3. Mutual Mate Choice in the Deep Snouted Pipefish Syngnathus typhle
Sammanfattning : This thesis integrates the fields of sexual selection, parental investment and sex role theory by investigating mutual mate choice and mate competition in the sex role reversed deep snouted pipefish Syngnathus typhle (Pisces: Syngnathidae) through a series of laboratory experiments. In S. LÄS MER
4. Population divergence at small spatial scales : – theoretical and empirical investigations in perch
Sammanfattning : Genetically structured populations arise when gene flow between groups of individuals is hindered by geographical, behavioural or temporal barriers. The identification of such groups is important for understanding evolution and has large implications for conservation concern. LÄS MER
5. Sexual selection and the evolution of sex-role reversal in honeylocust beetles
Sammanfattning : Sexual selection is the prime evolutionary force that makes males and females different. This process has long been viewed as one where male compete with one another and where females choose. LÄS MER
