Why have birds got multiple sexual ornaments?
- A. Møller, A. Pomiankowski
- Biology
- Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology
- 1 March 1993
SummaryMales of many animals have more than a single exaggerated secondary sexual character, but inter-specific variability in the number of ornaments has never been explained. We examine three… Expand
Do sexual ornaments demonstrate heightened condition-dependent expression as predicted by the handicap hypothesis?
- S. Cotton, Kevin Fowler, A. Pomiankowski
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the Royal Society of London…
- 22 April 2004
The handicap hypothesis of sexual selection predicts that sexual ornaments have evolved heightened condition–dependent expression. The prediction has only recently been subject to experimental… Expand
Sexual Selection and Condition-Dependent Mate Preferences
- S. Cotton, J. Small, A. Pomiankowski
- Biology, Medicine
- Current Biology
- 5 September 2006
The last decade has witnessed considerable theoretical and empirical investigation of how male sexual ornaments evolve. This strong male-biased perspective has resulted in the relative neglect of… Expand
THE EVOLUTION OF COSTLY MATE PREFERENCES I. FISHER AND BIASED MUTATION
- A. Pomiankowski, Y. Iwasa, S. Nee
- Biology, Medicine
- Evolution; international journal of organic…
- 1 September 1991
Fisher's runaway process is the standard explanation of the evolution of exaggerated female preferences. But mathematical formulations of Fisher's process (haploid and additive diploid) show it… Expand
A resolution of the lek paradox
- A. Pomiankowski, A. Møller
- Biology
- Proceedings of the Royal Society of London…
- 22 April 1995
Sexual traits are usually more phenotypically variable than non-sexual traits. We show that additive genetic variation is also higher in sexual traits, and often greater than in the same,… Expand
CONDITION DEPENDENCE OF SEXUAL ORNAMENT SIZE AND VARIATION IN THE STALK‐EYED FLY CYRTODIOPSIS DALMANNI (DIPTERA: DIOPSIDAE)
- S. Cotton, Kevin Fowler, A. Pomiankowski
- Biology, Medicine
- Evolution; international journal of organic…
- 1 May 2004
Abstract We used the stalk‐eyed fly Cyrtodiopsis dalmanni to examine predictions made by condition‐dependent handicap models of sexual selection. Condition was experimentally varied by manipulation… Expand

Causes of sex ratio bias may account for unisexual sterility in hybrids: a new explanation of Haldane's rule and related phenomena.
- L. Hurst, A. Pomiankowski
- Biology, Medicine
- Genetics
- 1 August 1991
Unisexual hybrid disruption can be accounted for by interactions between sex ratio distorters which have diverged in the species of the hybrid cross. One class of unisexual hybrid disruption is… Expand
THE EVOLUTION OF MATE PREFERENCES FOR MULTIPLE SEXUAL ORNAMENTS
- Y. Iwasa, A. Pomiankowski
- Biology, Medicine
- Evolution; international journal of organic…
- 1 June 1994
Males of many species use multiple sexual ornaments in their courtship display. We investigate the evolution of female sexual preferences for more than a single male trait by the handicap process.… Expand
The costs of choice in sexual selection.
- A. Pomiankowski
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of theoretical biology
- 21 September 1987
In Fisher's model of sexual selection female mating preferences are not subject to direct selection but evolve purely because they are genetically correlated with the favoured male trait. But when… Expand
