Our new study, published in Scientific Reports and led by Abril Alexander, suggests the possibility that monogamy may remove constraints on reproductive tissue investment imposed by intense sexual selection. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Does the ratio of males to females predictably influence the ability to monopolise mating partners? Is male sexual selection more intense when femaleIs are rare? 🪰

We investigated by manipulating sex ratios in polyandrous fruit flies in our new #OA manuscript published in @evolletters.bsky.social
