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
- 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?
- Anders Møller, M. Jennions
- Biology, Medicine
- Oecologia
- 1 August 2002
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
- H. Kokko, M. Jennions
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of evolutionary biology
- 1 July 2008
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
- H. Kokko, Robert D. Brooks, M. Jennions, J. Morley
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the Royal Society of London…
- 22 March 2003
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
- John Hunt, Robert Brooks, M. Jennions, M. Smith, Caroline L. Bentsen, L. Bussière
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 23 December 2004
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?
- John Hunt, L. Bussière, M. Jennions, Robert Brooks
- Biology, Medicine
- Trends in ecology & evolution
- 1 June 2004
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.
- A. M. Davidson, M. Jennions, A. Nicotra
- Biology, Medicine
- Ecology letters
- 1 April 2011
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
The Extent and Consequences of P-Hacking in Science
- M. Head, L. Holman, Rob Lanfear, A. T. Kahn, M. Jennions
- Biology, Medicine
- PLoS biology
- 1 March 2015
A focus on novel, confirmatory, and statistically significant results leads to substantial bias in the scientific literature. One type of bias, known as “p-hacking,” occurs when researchers collect… Expand
Unifying and Testing Models of Sexual Selection
- H. Kokko, M. Jennions, Ronald H. Brooks
- Biology
- 7 November 2006
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
