Sperm show patterns of rapid and divergent evolution that are
characteristic of sexual selection. Sperm competition has been
proposed as an important selective agent in the evolution of sperm
morphology. However, several comparative analyses have revealed evolutionary associations between sperm length and female reproductive tract morphology that suggest patterns of
male–female coevolution. In the dung beetle Onthophagus taurus,
males with short sperm have a fertilization advantage that depends on the size of the female’s sperm storage organ, the
spermatheca; large spermathecae select for short sperm. Sperm
length is heritable and is genetically correlated with male condition. Here we report significant additive genetic variation and
heritability for spermatheca size and genetic covariance between
spermatheca size and sperm length predicted by both the ‘‘goodsperm’’ and ‘‘sexy-sperm’’ models of postcopulatory female preference. Our data thus provide quantitative genetic support for the
role of a sexually selected sperm process in the evolutionary
divergence of sperm morphology, in much the same manner as
precopulatory female preferences drive the evolutionary divergence of male secondary sexual traits.

Males influence maternal effects that promote sexual selection: a quantitative genetic experiment with dung beetles Onthophagus taurus
Kotiaho, Janne Sakari; Simmons, Leigh; Hunt, John; Tomkins, Joseph (2003)Recently, doubt has been cast on studies supporting good genes sexual selection by the suggestion that observed genetic benefits for offspring may be confounded by differential maternal allocation. In traditional analyses, ... -
Sex-specific assumptions and their importance in models of sexual selection
de Vries, Charlotte; Lehtonen, Jussi (Elsevier BV, 2023)Sexual selection is a field coloured by tension and contrasting views. One contested claim is the causal link from the definition of the sexes (anisogamy) to divergent selection on the sexes. Does theory truly engage with ... -
Direct and correlated responses to bi-directional selection on pre-adult development time in Drosophila montana
Kauranen, Hannele; Kinnunen, Johanna; Hopkins, David; Hoikkala, Anneli (Elsevier Ltd., 2019)Selection experiments offer an efficient way to study the evolvability of traits that play an important role in insects’ reproduction and/or survival and to trace correlations and trade-offs between them. We have exercised ... -

Green or Brown, Built or Open? Correlations between landscape preferences in an arid ecosystem, underlying environmental values and demographic characteristics.
Orenstein, Daniel; Porat, Idan; Tsalyuk, Miri (Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Understanding the determinants of natural landscape preferences has attracted theoretical and practical interest. Researchers suggest both universal and particular preferences, with particular preferences correlating with ...
