There have been many potential explanations put forward as to why polyandry often persists despite the multiple costs it can inflict
on females. One such explanation is avoidance of costs associated with mating with genetically incompatible males. Genetic incompatibility
can be thought of as a spectrum from individuals that are genetically too similar (inbreeding) to those that are too dissimilar
(outbreeding or hybridization). Here we look for evidence that the level of outbreeding influences the benefits of polyandry in the seed
bug Lygaeus equestris. Our system allows us to test for benefits of polyandry at levels of genetic similarity ranging from full siblings
to heterospecifics, both in terms of egg production and hatching success. We found that while outbreeding level appeared to have no
effect on fitness for intraspecific matings, and polyandry did not appear to result in any increase in fertility or fecundity, hybridization
with a closely related species, Lygaeus simulans, carried considerable fitness costs. However, these costs could be rescued with a
single mating to a conspecific. Thus, polyandry may be beneficial in populations that co-occur with closely related species and where
there is reproductive interference. However, within-species genetic incompatibility is unlikely to be the driving force behind polyandry
in this species. Furthermore, the mechanism underlying this rescue of fertility remains unclear as manipulation of male cuticular hydrocarbon
profile, a possible mechanism by which females can assess male identity, had no effect on female offspring production.

Sustained attention required for effective dimension-based retro-cue benefit in visual working memory
Liu, Ruyi; Guo, Lijing; Sun, Hong-jin; Parviainen, Tiina; Zhou, Zifang; Cheng, Yuxin; Liu, Qiang; Ye, Chaoxiong (Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), 2023)In visual working memory (VWM) tasks, participants’ performances can be improved through the use of dimension-based retro-cues, which direct internal attention to prioritize a particular dimension (e.g., color or orientation) ... -
Sexual selection, phenotypic plasticity and female reproductive output
Fox, Rebecca J.; Fromhage, Lutz; Jennions, Michael D. (2019)In a rapidly changing environment, does sexual selection on males elevate a population's reproductive output? If so, does phenotypic plasticity enhance or diminish any such effect? We outline two routes by which sexual ... -
Size-selective harvesting fosters adaptations in mating behavior and reproductive allocation, affecting sexual selection in fish
Sbragaglia, Valerio; Gliese, Catalina; Bierbach, David; Honsey, Andrew E.; Uusi-Heikkilä, Silva; Arlinghaus, Robert (Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2019)The role of sexual selection in the context of harvest‐induced evolution is poorly understood. However, elevated and trait‐selective harvesting of wild populations may change sexually selected traits, which in turn can ... -
