Function predicts the #allometry of contest-related traits?
The answer is in our paper with the TUSKED Amazonian harvestmen :)

Today we are mostly taking photos of stag beetles so that we can build 3D models of their mandibles. Because science. #entomology #sexualselection

#SocialNetworks #SexualSelection #SexualConflict
Females differ socially, their social networks are tightly linked with their sexual networks, determining sperm competition between males and who sires offspring.

A male royal flycatcher, showing off his colourful crest. Females have the crests as well, but they’re bright yellow. Both sexes display the crests during courtship – and, for some reason, also when they're being held. #SexualSelection

Very proud to announce that our paper on selection in giraffe weevils is out today in Evolution. So much hard mahi by Dr Rebecca Le Grice during her MSc to put together this study! A great example of the importance of natural history research done on wild animals

Very much enjoying the extent to which this inflated scarlet dragonfly's penis looks like a rather handsome male Soay sheep 🍆 🐑. Both beautiful examples of #SexualSelection !

More than thrilled to hold Bateman’s handwritten notes of his classic experiment on #sexualselection in #drosophila in my hands. Trembling hands!
 
Reassessing recent reassessments. Are his data really inconsistent with his principles?

>80 K ppl/yr visit Tenorio Park in #CostaRica . Until today, there was only 1 interpretive sign. Now, at entrance, ppl can read about #manakins , #sexualselection , #diversity , and how to start seeing birds!

what is the role of #sexualselection in #speciation ? Great to look at a classic paper and see what has happened in 20 years: a lot! Thanks Tamra Mendelson - this was fun! also thanks to Roger Butlin, Martine Maan, @SamFlaxman, Trop Bio Lab & Daniel Bolnick for excellent feedback

Safran Lab @ University of Colorado, Boulder and I are pleased to share this retroprospective on a paper that shaped our careers. We hope this question continues to challenge and satisfy for another 20 years! (yes I made up that word but you get what I mean right?) authors.elsevier.com/c/1dr3tcZ3Wqem…
