Dominance and the evolution of sexual dimorphism in human voice pitch
The developmental and anatomical causes of human voice sexual dimorphisms are known, but the evolutionary causes are not. Some evidence suggests a role of intersexual selection via female mate choice, but other evidence implicates male dominance competition. In this study, we examine the relationships among voice pitch, dominance, and male mating success. Males were audio recorded while partici...
متن کاملMate choice and competition for mates in the boat-tailed grackle
Behavioural studies have implicated both female choice of mates and male competition for access to mates as proximate mechanisms of sexual selection. Few studies have examined the interactions between these mechanisms in a natural setting. In this study, I explored how dominance interactions between male boat-tailed grackles, Quiscalus majordetermine the mating success of males and how the beha...

Pre-competition testosterone (T) levels were positively associated with men’s dominance behaviors and with how much the confederate indicated that she ‘‘clicked’’ with each participant. Dyadic analyses showed that self-reported dominance m...
متن کاملThe roles of inter- and intra-sexual selection in behavioral isolation between native and invasive pupfishes
Male-male competition and female mate choice may both play important roles in driving and maintaining reproductive isolation between species. When previously allopatric species come into secondary contact with each other due to introductions, they provide an opportunity to evaluate the identity and strength of reproductive isolating mechanisms. If reproductive isolation is not maintained, hybri...
متن کاملFemale Choice of Males in Cuttlefish
In captivity, male cuttlefish use visual displays to establish size-based dominance hierarchies and larger males obtain most of the copulations. This experiment was performed to determine if females prefer the larger, more dominant males and whether females use male visual displays to evaluate males. Twenty sexually mature, virgin female cuttlefish were given up to six opportunities to approach...
