Condition Dependence of Male Life Span and Calling Effort in a Field Cricket
TLDR
These findings suggest that male quality and survival are positively correlated, but more tests of this hypothesis are needed.

Intense Sperm-Mediated Sexual Conflict Promotes Reproductive Isolation in Caenorhabditis Nematodes
Sperm from other species invade female tissues to cause sterility and death, helping to keep nematode species boundaries intact.

Frequency-dependent variation in mimetic fidelity in an intraspecific mimicry system
TLDR
This study provides direct quantitative support for the prediction that the mimetic similarity of mimics to their models increases as the mimic/model ratio increases, and suggests that the phenomenon may be widespread in a range of mimicry systems.

Effects of extreme variation in female morph frequencies on the mating behaviour of male damselflies
TLDR
Test predictions of the learned mate recognition (LMR) and male mimicry (MM) hypotheses were evaluated and results support specific predictions of both hypotheses and suggest that future studies should not treat these hypotheses as mutually exclusive.

A lover, not a fighter: mating causes male crickets to lose fights
TLDR
It is suggested that mating is itself detrimental to male success in aggressive contests, but that this effect is not sufficient to eliminate the effect of RHP on fighting success.

Condition dependence of female choosiness in a field cricket
TLDR
The condition dependence of female preferences (preference function and choosiness) for male calling effort in G. pennsylvanicus is tested, with respect to the possibility that female G. penny Sylvanicus may be foraging for direct benefits when they choose their mates.

Listening to male song induces female field crickets to differentially allocate reproductive resources
TLDR
The results support the DA hypothesis and suggest that females invest their reproductive output based on a trait (calling effort) that is an honest indicator of male quality.

Demographic consequences of reproductive interference in multi-species communities
TLDR
These results affirm that individual level negative effects of reproductive interference mediated by gamete interactions can ramify to population demography, with the potential to influence patterns of species coexistence separately from the effects of direct resource competition.

Multi-annual variation in female morph frequencies of the polymorphic damselfly, Nehalennia irene, at continental and regional scales
TLDR
Quantifying variation in morph frequency over two to three years elucidate how morph frequencies vary temporally at both intra-regional and continental scales and indicates that the observed natural variation in female morph frequencies may be partly explained by variation in male harassment.

Genetic Contributions to Ectopic Sperm Cell Migration in Caenorhabditis Nematodes
TLDR
Sexually-antagonistic co-evolution within species that drives divergent trait and molecular evolution between species provides a working model to explain mismatched species-specific gametic interactions that promote or mitigate ectopic sperm migration.
