Delighted to share my thoughts on the latest theoretical and empirical work exploring the evolutionary foundations of sex differences in #SexualSelection. Out now in Evolution Letters. academic.oup.com/evlett/advance…

Does the inherent sex difference in gamete size drive sex roles? In a recent Evolution Letters opinion piece, Tim Janicke reflects on recent theoretical and empirical advances in understanding how anisogamy shapes sexual differentiation. doi.org/10.1093/evlett…

Experimental study suggests that sperm competition in hermpahroditic flatworms favours individuals that produce sperm of intermediate size: Santhosh Tim Janicke & Prof. Dieter Ebert University of Basel ow.ly/g6Jk50T8vOb



How and why does #SexualSelection vary geographically? Rob Barber Joe Tobias &co study 10,671 #bird species, revealing that avian sexual selection varies latitudinally, is explained by temperature seasonality & other #climate-related factors #PLOSBiology plos.io/4fixxjC



Does vegetation structure shape animal vocalisations? A meta-analysis testing for phenotypic and evolutionary responses suggests that the acoustic adaptation hypothesis is not universally valid across birds, amphibians, and mammals. Kudos to Bárbara Freitas for the terrific work!

Final version of this thing now published in PLOS Biology, so ... some weekend reading. 🧵 Sexual selection (SS) is a major strand of evolutionary theory, but how and why it varies across species at global scales is poorly known. 1/9 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…


I am loving the Evolution Letters by G. Moggioli. This issue has 3 articles about the Darwin-Bateman paradigm. Lehtonen & Parker doi.org/10.1093/evlett… provide theory, w/ comments by @timjanicke doi.org/10.1093/evlett… and Mokos et al. doi.org/10.1093/evlett…

Big news! 🎉 My first PhD chapter has been published in PLOS Biology, and it just made the cover! 🐦🌍Perfect time to dive into the key findings from our global study on sexual selection in birds. 🧵👇 📖 Read the paper: doi.org/10.1371/journa…
