📜 Why are trade-offs often so elusive? Does the distribution of resources in a population affect if life history trade-offs emerge? We tested this experimentally in the Australian field cricket using a re-sampling approach. Now out #OpenAccess in @journal-evo.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1093/evol...

Does #SexualSelection fuel #Speciation?
Our new #meta-analysis of comparative studies finds support for a positive relationship, but the rather moderate global effect suggests it’s not necessarily a dominant force.

Sexual selection and speciation: a meta-analysis of comparative studies
Abstract. Understanding the drivers of biodiversity is a central goal in evolutionary biology. In particular, sexual selection has long been proposed as a

Interested in interactions between females & males on the path to fertilization? We reviewed the evidence for these complex female-male interactions. Thanks to my amazing co-authors for taking me along on this exciting journey (my first review paper)! Out now #OpenAccess

One last adventure for 2024 - a snow hike to the highest peak in the Elsass - the Grand Ballon 🇫🇷. All survived and now its time to welcome 2025 with a Swiss Cheese Fondue! 🇨🇭

📜 Did you ever wonder why females and males are of different size in many species? We tested if sexual selection could drive the evolution of sexual size dimorphism (SSD) synthesizing the results of 77 comparative studies. #OpenAccess in Ecology Letters:

Pre‐Copulatory Sexual Selection Predicts Sexual Size Dimorphism: A Meta‐Analysis of Comparative Studies
In a meta-analysis using 127 effect sizes from 77 comparative studies, we provide evidence for a significant relationship between sexual selection and sexual size dimorphism across the animal tree of....

Intro: I am an evolutionary biologist interested in sexual selection & the interaction of evolution & ecology. In my research I combine experiments with meta-analysis. I worked on a variety of different species from flatworms to mice & now fish. For more see: www.researchgate.net/profile/Lenn...
