The two most influential models for the evolution of female mate choice and male sexual ornaments are those proposed by Fisher and Zahavi. Despite their importance for the theoretical development in the field of sexual selection, it remains doubtful if these models really generate contrasting predictions. In addition, both models include natural and sexual selection, so that there are not…
In mating systems with resource defense, resource distribution has influence over female distribution and thus on various behavioral and population parameters. The main objective of this project is to evaluate the effect of the availability of egg-laying sites on the mating system and parental care of the harvestman Serracutisoma proximum. Males of this species defend territories over the…
The classic Darwin-Bateman paradigm of sexual selection states that females gain no benefits by mating with multiple males, and so polyandry should be rare. Recent evidence, however, shows that polyandry is widespread across many animal groups, and that multiple matings by females generate additional episodes of sexual selection, which modulate the total strength of sexual selection. Extr…
