Sex-biased phoretic mite load on two seaweed flies: Coelopa frigida and Coelopa pilipes.
Two hypotheses explain male-biased parasitism. Physiological costs of male sexually selected characteristics can reduce immunocompetence. Alternatively, ecological differences could generate male-biased parasitism. One method of comparing the importance of the two theories is to investigate patterns of phoresy, which are only likely to be generated by ecological rather than immunological differ...
متن کاملEnvironmental enrichment improves mating success in fruit flies
Environmental enrichment, defined as housing conditions that include a combination of complex inanimate and social stimulation, has strong positive effects on brain and behaviour in various species. We extended previous studies to evaluate how enrichment affects mating success. In a series of experiments, we found that male fruit flies, Drosophila melanogaster, reared in an enriched environment...
متن کاملExaggerated displays do not improve mounting success in male seaweed flies Fucellia tergina (Diptera: Anthomyiidae).
Signals of individual quality are assumed to be difficult to exaggerate, either because they are directly linked to underlying traits (indices) or because they are costly to perform (handicaps). In practise advertisement displays may consist of conventional and costly components, for instance where a morphological structure related to body size is used in visual displays. In this case, there is...

By any name, female-female competition yields differential mating success.
In this review, I use the body of literature on female–female aggression as a platform to identify how females compete for mates. I also examine the ways in which this competition is similar to and different from the male counterpart, a key step in the development of a unified theory of sexual selection that incorporates the variety of ways in which members of the same sex compete for mates. Re...
