Gametic selection favours polyandry and selfing. by Michael Francis Scott, Carl Mackintosh, Simone Immler

“…Competition among pollen or sperm (gametic selection) can cause evolution. Mating systems shape the intensity of gametic selection by determining the competitors involved, which can in turn cause the mating system itself to evolve. …”

Implications of size‐selective fisheries on sexual selection by Silva Uusi‐Heikkilä

“…Currently, little is known about the mating systems of nonmodel species and about the interplay between size‐selective fisheries and sexual selection. …”

Effects of open- and self-pollination on fruit set and seed quality in Jatropha curcas L. by Nurul Hidayah Che Mat, Nisha Thopla Govender, Zahira Yaakob, Wickneswari Ratnam

“…Investigation on different mating systems is necessary to improve fruit and seed production and seed quality in Jatropha curcas. …”

Cloacal bacterial diversity increases with multiple mates: evidence of sexual transmission in female common lizards. by Joël White, Murielle Richard, Manuel Massot, Sandrine Meylan

“…Sexually transmitted diseases have often been suggested as a potential cost of multiple mating and as playing a major role in the evolution of mating systems. Yet there is little empirical data relating mating strategies to sexually transmitted microorganisms in wild populations. …”

Floral resource availability of Dicliptera squarrosa (Acanthaceae) and its dependence on hummingbirds for fruit formation in a forest fragment of Central Brazil by Raphael Matias, Marco Furtado, Silvia Rodrigues, Hélder Consolaro

“…However, the degree of plant-pollinator interdependence varies greatly among species; thus, information on plant mating systems and availability of resources may help to clarify the dependence of interacting organisms. …”

Endless forms of sexual selection by Lindsay, W, Andersson, S, Bererhi, B, Höglund, J, Johnsen, A, Kvarnemo, C, Leder, E, Lifjeld, J, Ninnes, C, Olsson, M, Parker, G, Pizzari, T, Qvarnström, A, Safran, R, Svensson, O, Edwards, S

“…First we focus on the evolution of mate choice and mating systems. Variation in mate quality can generate both competition and choice in the opposite sex, with implications for the evolution of mating systems. …”

No sex-biased dispersal in a primate with an uncommon social system—cooperative polyandry by Samuel L. Díaz-Muñoz, Ângela M. Ribeiro

“…An influential hypothesis proposed by Greenwood (1980) suggests that different mating systems result in female and male-biased dispersal, respectively, in birds and mammals. …”

Reproductive microbiotas of the red junglefowl, Gallus gallus: Patterns and drivers of variation by Eccleston, R

“…I studied a captive population of red junglefowl, Gallus gallus, a sexually promiscuous species with well-characterised mating systems. Developing a pipeline based on a next-generation sequencing approach I show that junglefowl ejaculates contain diverse bacterial communities of bacteria (seminal microbiotas), which reflect the gut microbiota and vary in structure across males. …”

Bees may drive the reproduction of four sympatric cacti in a vanishing coastal mediterranean-type ecosystem by Pablo C. Guerrero, Claudia A. Antinao, Beatriz Vergara-Meriño, Cristian A. Villagra, Gastón O. Carvallo

Sexual selection and the adaptive evolution of mammalian ejaculate proteins. by Ramm, SA, Oliver, P, Ponting, C, Stockley, P, Emes, R

“…Next, we tested whether variation in this ratio among lineages could be attributed to interspecific variation in mating systems, as inferred from the variation in these rodents' relative testis sizes (RTS). …”

Reply to Lukas and Clutton-Brock: Infanticide still drives primate monogamy by Opie, C, Atkinson, Q, Dunbar, R, Shultz, S

“…It was therefore of little surprise to us that we should find that these traits are strongly associated with mating systems in primates (1). The crucial question, however, is whether these traits are potential drivers of, or secondary responses to, the appearance of monogamy. …”
