CARRANZA, J. 2009. Defining sexual selection as sex-depent selection. Animal Behaviour 77: 749-751. After almost 150 years of research, the very definition of sexual selection remains unclear. The term sexual selection was coined in 1859 by Darwin (1859), who described it in more detail in his later book (Darwin 1871), as an explanation for the Leer másCarranza, J. (2009)[…]

In polygynous systems, female aggregation may affect the degree of polygyny by increasing the variance in male mating success. However, other population features such as the sex ratio and Leer másPérez-González, J. & Carranza, J. (2011)[…]
