Our new study, published in Scientific Reports and led by Abril Alexander, suggests the possibility that monogamy may remove constraints on reproductive tissue investment imposed by intense sexual selection. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Rethinking the relationship between the sex ratio and sexual selection doi.org/10.1093/evle... Now in @evolletters.bsky.social by @gcmcdon.bsky.social, @daniedmunds.bsky.social, @stuartwigby.bsky.social, and @jennyperry.bsky.social 📷: Dani Edmunds

Does the ratio of males to females predictably influence the ability to monopolise mating partners? Is male sexual selection more intense when femaleIs are rare? 🪰 We investigated by manipulating sex ratios in polyandrous fruit flies in our new #OA manuscript published in @evolletters.bsky.social
