Sexual selection, phenotypic plasticity and female reproductive output.
Fox RJ, Fromhage L, Jennions MD. Fox RJ, et al. Among authors: jennions md. Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci. 2019 Mar 18;374(1768):20180184. doi: 10.1098/rstb.2018.0184. Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci. 2019. PMID: 30966965 Free PMC article. Review.
We then discuss how phenotypic plasticity of sexually selected male traits and/or female responses (e.g. plasticity in mate choice), as the environment changes, might influence how sexual selection affects a population's reproductive output. ...It is therefore crucial to u …

The mismeasurement of sexual selection.
Klug H, Heuschele J, Jennions MD, Kokko H. Klug H, et al. Among authors: jennions md. J Evol Biol. 2010 Mar;23(3):447-62. doi: 10.1111/j.1420-9101.2009.01921.x. Epub 2010 Jan 18. J Evol Biol. 2010. PMID: 20088870 Free article. Review.
Much of current theory predicts that the strength of sexual selection (i) is driven by the relative abundance of males and females prepared to mate (i.e. the operational sex ratio, OSR) and (ii) can be generally estimated by calculating intra-sexual variation in mating suc …

Not all sex ratios are equal: the Fisher condition, parental care and sexual selection.
Jennions MD, Fromhage L. Jennions MD, et al. Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci. 2017 Sep 19;372(1729):20160312. doi: 10.1098/rstb.2016.0312. Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci. 2017. PMID: 28760755 Free PMC article. Review.
The Fisher condition only applies to some reproductive measures (e.g. lifetime offspring production or matings) for certain sex ratios (e.g. operational or adult sex ratio; OSR, ASR). ...

Do male secondary sexual characters signal ejaculate quality? A meta-analysis.
Mautz BS, Møller AP, Jennions MD. Mautz BS, et al. Among authors: jennions md. Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc. 2013 Aug;88(3):669-82. doi: 10.1111/brv.12022. Epub 2013 Feb 4. Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc. 2013. PMID: 23374138 Review.
Second, there is much interest in the direction of the correlation between traits favoured by pre-copulatory sexual selection (i.e. affecting mating success) and those favoured by post-copulatory sexual selection (i.e. increasing sperm competitiveness). ...

Facultative adjustment of the offspring sex ratio and male attractiveness: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Booksmythe I, Mautz B, Davis J, Nakagawa S, Jennions MD. Booksmythe I, et al. Among authors: jennions md. Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc. 2017 Feb;92(1):108-134. doi: 10.1111/brv.12220. Epub 2015 Sep 25. Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc. 2017. PMID: 26405787 Free article. Review.
Females can benefit from mate choice for male traits (e.g. sexual ornaments or body condition) that reliably signal the effect that mating will have on mean offspring fitness. ...The mean effect size was small (r = 0.064-0.095; i.e. explaining <1% of variation in …

Mate-sampling costs and sexy sons.
Kokko H, Booksmythe I, Jennions MD. Kokko H, et al. Among authors: jennions md. J Evol Biol. 2015 Jan;28(1):259-66. doi: 10.1111/jeb.12532. Epub 2014 Nov 16. J Evol Biol. 2015. PMID: 25399634 Free article.
Costly female mating preferences for purely Fisherian male traits (i.e. sexual ornaments that are genetically uncorrelated with inherent viability) are not expected to persist at equilibrium. ...The above findings generally assume constant direct selection against female p …

Sexual selection and sperm quantity: meta-analyses of strategic ejaculation.
Kelly CD, Jennions MD. Kelly CD, et al. Among authors: jennions md. Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc. 2011 Nov;86(4):863-84. doi: 10.1111/j.1469-185X.2011.00175.x. Epub 2011 Mar 17. Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc. 2011. PMID: 21414127 Review.
There is, however, no evidence for the general prediction that ejaculate size decreases as the number of rivals increases from one to several males (i.e. in response to a higher intensity of SC which lowers the rate of return per sperm released). ...We note that several as …

The role of maternal effects on offspring performance in familiar and novel environments.
Vrtílek M, Chuard PJC, Iglesias-Carrasco M, Zhang Z, Jennions MD, Head ML. Vrtílek M, et al. Among authors: jennions md. Heredity (Edinb). 2021 Jul;127(1):52-65. doi: 10.1038/s41437-021-00431-y. Epub 2021 Apr 6. Heredity (Edinb). 2021. PMID: 33824537 Free PMC article.
This could generate a Maternal-by-Environment interaction (M E) that inflates estimates of Genotype-by-Environment effects (G E). We aimed to test for environment-specific maternal effects (M E) using a paternal full-sib/half-sib breeding design in the seed b …

A gene favoured by selection that reduces the propagation of unlinked genes at other loci (e.g. meiotic segregation distorters that lower sperm production) is eventually neutralized by counter-selection throughout the rest of the genome. ...

Crino OL, Head ML, Jennions MD, Noble DWA. Crino OL, et al. Among authors: jennions md. J Exp Biol. 2024 Jan 15;227(2):jeb245569. doi: 10.1242/jeb.245569. Epub 2024 Jan 11. J Exp Biol. 2024. PMID: 38206324
Female mating preferences based on sexual traits are thought to have evolved because choosy females gain direct benefits that enhance their lifetime reproductive success (e.g. greater access to food) and/or indirect benefits because high-quality males contribute genes that …
