Postcopulatory sexual selection can arise when females mate with multiple males and is usually mediated by an interaction between the sexes. Cryptic female choice (CFC) is one form of postcopulatory sexual selection that occurs when female morphology, physiology, or behavior generates a bias in fertilization success. However, its importance in nonrandom reproductive success is poorly resolved due to challenges distinguishing the roles of females and males in generating patterns of fertilization bias. Nevertheless, two CFC mechanisms have recently been documented and characterized in Drosophila simulans within the context of gametic isolation in competitive hybrid matings with Drosophila mauritiana: sperm ejection and nonrandom use of sperm storage organs for fertilization. Here, we explore if and how female D. simulans employ these two mechanisms of CFC in response to intraspecific male size variation. We used transgenic males expressing green (GFP) or red fluorescent protein (RFP) in sperm heads to document postcopulatory processes, in conjunction with a probabilistic analytical model. We unexpectedly found that differential reproductive success was also a function of male population (GFP or RFP), suggesting that females use different CFC mechanisms to select for different male traits. Moreover, concordance of selection at the precopulatory (as measured by mating latency) and postcopulatory stages depends on both the male trait and the CFC mechanism examined. Larger males were more successful both before and after mating, but we unexpectedly found that females also mated more quickly with males with GFP-labeled sperm, while fertilization bias favored RFP-labeled sperm.

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 ... -

Implications of size‐selective fisheries on sexual selection
Uusi-Heikkilä, Silva (Wiley-Blackwell, 2020)Fisheries often combine high mortality with intensive size‐selectivity and can, thus, be expected to reduce body size and size variability in exploited populations. In many fish species, body size is a sexually selected ... -
Sexual selection on song and cuticular hydrocarbons in two distinct populations of Drosophila montana
Veltsos, Paris; Wicker-Thomas, Claude; Butlin, Roger; Hoikkala, Anneli; Ritchie, Michael (Wiley-Blackwell, 2012)Sexual selection has the potential to contribute to population divergence and speciation. Most studies of sexual selection in Drosophila have concentrated on a single signaling modality, usually either courtship song or ... -
Inbreeding reveals mode of past selection on male reproductive characters in Drosophila melanogaster
Ala-Honkola, Outi; Hosken, David J.; Manier, Mollie K.; Lüpold, Stefan; Droge-Young, Elizabeth M.; Berben, Kirstin S.; Collins, William F.; Belote, John M.; Pitnick, Scott (Wiley-Blackwell, 2013)Directional dominance is a prerequisite of inbreeding depression. Directionality arises when selection drives alleles that increase fitness to fixation and eliminates dominant deleterious alleles, while deleterious recessives ...
