sexual selection

  • SHORT COMMUNICATION
    Artificial lighting impairs mate attraction in a nocturnal capital breeder
    Alan J. A. Stewart, Craig D. Perl, Jeremy E. Niven
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb229146 doi: 10.1242/jeb.229146 Published 30 September 2020

    Summary: Artificial lighting at night (ALAN) impedes female glow worms’ ability to attract males with their glow, implicating ALAN in glow worm fecundity and long-term population survival.

  • REVIEW
    Neural and molecular mechanisms underlying female mate choice decisions in vertebrates
    Ross S. DeAngelis, Hans A. Hofmann
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb207324 doi: 10.1242/jeb.207324 Published 6 September 2020

    Summary: Current knowledge about how female mate choice occurs within the brain is discussed along with future avenues of research that will broaden our current knowledge of this process.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Androgenic modulation of extraordinary muscle speed creates a performance trade-off with endurance
    Daniel J. Tobiansky, Meredith C. Miles, Franz Goller, Matthew J. Fuxjager
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb222984 doi: 10.1242/jeb.222984 Published 1 June 2020

    Highlighted Article: Androgenic signalling boosts muscle twitch speed to support the production of elaborate display behaviour, triggering a trade-off with endurance. This encumbers display length, highlighting a performance cost of steroid action.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Musculoskeletal mass and shape are correlated with competitive ability in male house mice (Mus musculus)
    Amanda N. Cooper, Christopher B. Cunningham, Jeremy S. Morris, James S. Ruff, Wayne K. Potts, David R. Carrier
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb213389 doi: 10.1242/jeb.213389 Published 7 February 2020

    Summary: Male house mice demonstrating high competitive ability possess several musculoskeletal traits hypothesized to improve fighting performance in male–male contests.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Convergent evolution of super black plumage near bright color in 15 bird families
    Dakota E. McCoy, Richard O. Prum
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb208140 doi: 10.1242/jeb.208140 Published 26 September 2019

    Summary: Birds independently evolved super black (broadband, low-reflectance) plumage next to bright colors in 15 different families; this may be a sexually selected optical illusion to make nearby colors appear brighter.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Elevated oxidative stress in pied flycatcher nestlings of eumelanic foster fathers under low rearing temperatures
    P. E. Teerikorpi, J. Stauffer, P. Ilmonen, S. Calhim, W. Schuett, T. Laaksonen
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb195909 doi: 10.1242/jeb.195909 Published 3 April 2019

    Summary: The pied flycatcher demonstrates a temperature-dependent association between oxidative stress of offspring and variation in the melanin coloration of their foster father.

  • COMMENTARY
    Income and capital breeding in males: energetic and physiological limitations on male mating strategies
    Carl D. Soulsbury
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb184895 doi: 10.1242/jeb.184895 Published 1 January 2019

    Summary: Capital- and income-breeding strategies can be applied to males, but factors shaping these strategies are different from those found in females.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Dietary canthaxanthin reduces xanthophyll uptake and red coloration in adult red-legged partridges
    Carlos Alonso-Alvarez, Esther García-de Blas, Rafael Mateo
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb185074 doi: 10.1242/jeb.185074 Published 12 November 2018

    Summary: High levels of red carotenoids (i.e. canthaxanthin) in the diet paradoxically lead to paler red coloration, which raises questions about potential constraints in the evolution of red carotenoid-based sexual signals.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The metabolic cost of carrying a sexually selected trait in the male fiddler crab Uca pugilator
    Alexa Tullis, Corinne H. T. Straube
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3641-3648; doi: 10.1242/jeb.163816

    Summary: The large sexually selected claw of male fiddler crabs has no effect on the metabolic cost of locomotion during sustainable activity but may increase cost during strenuous, non-sustainable activity.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    A disparity between locomotor economy and territory-holding ability in male house mice
    Jeremy S. Morris, James S. Ruff, Wayne K. Potts, David R. Carrier
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2521-2528; doi: 10.1242/jeb.154823

    Summary: Male house mice that control exclusive polygynous territories are less economical runners compared with non-territory-holding males.
