Aims and ScopeEcology and Evolution is the peer-reviewed journal for rapid dissemination of research in all areas of ecology, evolution and conservation science.The journal gives priority to quality research reports, theoretical or empirical, that develop our understanding of organisms and their diversity, interactions between them, and the natural environment.Ecology and Evolution gives prompt and equal consideration to papers reporting theoretical, experimental, applied and descriptive work in terrestrial and aquatic environments.The journal will consider submissions across taxa in areas including but not limited to micro and macro ecological and evolutionary processes, characteristics of and interactions between individuals, populations, communities and the environment, physiological responses to environmental change, population genetics and phylogenetics, relatedness and kin selection, life histories, systematics and taxonomy, conservation genetics, extinction, speciation, adaption, behaviour, biodiversity, species abundance, macroecology, population and ecosystem dynamics, and conservation policy.Ecology and Evolution features original research articles, reviews, editorials, and hypotheses.

Female choice, conflict between the sexes and the evolution of male alternative reproductive behaviours

Evolutionary ecology research (2000)

Suzanne H. Alonzo Robert R. Warner

The importance of conflict between the sexes has recently been recognized as a driving force in the evolution of mating systems and reproductive behaviour. Past theory on the evolution of alternative reproductive strategies focused primarily on interactions within a single sex. These interactions can generate frequency- and condition-dependent fitness, which maintain the stable co-existence of alternative reproductive behaviours. We argue that interactions between the sexes (such as female choice and intersexual conflict) are a common but ignored mechanism that will influence the evolution of male alternative reproductive behaviours. Using a modelling approach that links dynamic games, we examine the influence of female choice on the stability and expression of male alternatives. By modelling five different biological scenarios, we show that female choice can suppress the existence of male alternative reproductive behaviours even when frequency- or condition-dependent mechanisms alone would predict their stable co-existence. Furthermore, we find that variation in female choice can lead to the stable coexistence of male alternative reproductive behaviours in the absence of traditional mechanisms known to allow the evolution of reproductive alternatives.

IS THERE A UNIFYING THEORY OF SEX ALLOCATION?

Evolution (2010)

Suzanne H. Alonzo

Google Scholar Google Preview WorldCat Within evolutionary biology, the field of sex allocation is often heralded as one of the great successes, where simple and elegant theory can explain and predict the patterns we observe in the natural world. Perhaps even more impressive is the accumulated evidence that organisms from parasitic flatworms to red deer exhibit subtle patterns of sex allocation, biasing their relative production of gametes or sons and daughters in response to a variety of environmental variables and individual conditions. For those of us who watch the field closely, however, we know that lurking beyond that true sense of achievement there is also a plaguing amount of overlooked biological complexity and unexplained empirical variation. As such, I recently found myself wondering aloud whether there was or ever could be a unifying theory of sex allocation? I do not mean to imply that we do not know a great deal about sex allocation in terms of both theoretical expectations and empirical patterns. Instead, what I would argue is that we have a lot of really wonderful, but slightly myopic, understanding of observed patterns and that research often sets out to examine overlapping hypotheses without a clear sense of how (or whether) we can truly distinguish between them, independent of any specific set of results. This means that we end up being both a little bit right and a little bit wrong most of the time. To be fair, this problem is not limited to our understanding of sex allocation. The question is whether this is the inevitable outcome of biological complexity or whether one might actually hope for a general theory of sex allocation or at least some testable and mutually exclusive hypotheses that apply as well to plants as they do to mammals. I may be an optimist, but I was personally hoping for the latter as I sat down to read Stuart West's recent book titled “Sex Allocation” (2009). I also could not help but compare it with Charnov's (1982) book on “The Theory of Sex Allocation.” In my defense, in case you are thinking these were unrealistically high expectations for any one book, it is precisely the need to update Charnov (1982) and a desire to unify this large but fractured field that Stuart West gives as his reasons for “Why this book is needed” (p. 8, West 2009).
