متن کاملPlant size, sexual selection, and the evolution of protandry in dioecious plants.
It is frequently observed that males of dioecious plant species flower earlier in the season than females, although the generality of this pattern has not been quantified. One hypothesis for earlier male flowering is that females require more time for resource acquisition before reproduction; another is that selection for access to unfertilized ovules favors early-flowering males. Here I show t...
متن کاملEmployee Engagement and Individual Differences: A Study in Indian Context
The employee engagement has emerged as a pivotal business driver for organizational success. High level of engagement in domestic and global firms is supposed to have multiple enriching effects on an organization. Studies have highlighted the importance of both organizational and individual factors in ensuring highly engaged employees. The present paper explores the individual differs across fo...
متن کاملDeterminants of male fitness: disentangling intra- and inter-sexual selection.
Both intra- and inter-sexual selection may crucially determine a male's fitness. Their interplay, which has rarely been experimentally investigated, determines a male's optimal reproductive strategy and thus is of fundamental importance to the understanding of a male's behaviour. Here we investigated the relative importance of intra- and inter-sexual selection for male fitness in the common liz...
متن کاملAdult fitness consequences of sexual selection in Drosophila melanogaster.
Few experiments have demonstrated a genetic correlation between the process of sexual selection and fitness benefits in offspring, either through female choice or male competition. Those that have looked at the relationship between female choice and offspring fitness have focused on juvenile fitness components, rather than fitness at later stages in the life cycle. In addition, many of these st...
