Why do females mate multiply? A review of the genetic benefits
  • M. Jennions, M. Petrie
  • Biology, Medicine
  • Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical…
  • 1 February 2000
The aim of this review is to consider the potential benefits that females may gain from mating more than once in a single reproductive cycle. The relationship between non‐genetic and genetic benefits… Expand

VARIATION IN MATE CHOICE AND MATING PREFERENCES: A REVIEW OF CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES
  • M. Jennions, M. Petrie
  • Biology, Medicine
  • Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical…
  • 1 May 1997
The aim of this review is to consider variation in mating p among females. We define mating p as the sensory and behavioural properties that influence the propensity of individuals to mate with… Expand

How much variance can be explained by ecologists and evolutionary biologists?
Abstract. The average amount of variance explained by the main factor of interest in ecological and evolutionary studies is an important quantity because it allows evaluation of the general strength… Expand

Parental investment, sexual selection and sex ratios
Conventional sex roles imply caring females and competitive males. The evolution of sex role divergence is widely attributed to anisogamy initiating a self‐reinforcing process. The initial asymmetry… Expand

The evolution of mate choice and mating biases
We review the current status of three well–established models (direct benefits, indirect benefits and sensory drive) and one newcomer (antagonistic chase–away) of the evolution of mate choice and the… Expand

High-quality male field crickets invest heavily in sexual display but die young
Only high-quality males can bear the costs of an extreme sexual display. As a consequence, such males are not only more attractive, but they often live longer than average. Recent theory predicts,… Expand

What is genetic quality?
Mate choice is favored by indirect selection if choosy females mate with males of high genetic quality. We believe, however, that testing hypotheses about indirect selection has been constrained by… Expand

Do invasive species show higher phenotypic plasticity than native species and, if so, is it adaptive? A meta-analysis.
Do invasive plant species have greater phenotypic plasticity than non-invasive species? And, if so, how does this affect their fitness relative to native, non-invasive species? What role might this… Expand

Unifying and Testing Models of Sexual Selection
Sexual reproduction is associated with the evolution of anisogamy and sperm-producing males and egg-laying females. The ensuing competition for mates has led to sexual selection and coevolution of… Expand

Sexually Selected Traits and Adult Survival: A Meta-Analysis
Traits correlated with male mating success are likely to be subject to sexual selection. Sexually selected characters are thought to be costly to develop and maintain. If males do not vary their… Expand
