Male sex drive and the maintenance of sex: evidence from Drosophila.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Singh Rama S, Artieri Carlo G

Abstract excerpt

The resolution of the paradoxes surrounding the evolutionary origins and maintenance of sexual reproduction has been a major focus in biology. The operation of sexual selection-which is very common among multicellular organisms-has been proposed as an important factor in the maintenance of sex, though in order for this hypothesis to hold, the strength of sexual selection must be stronger in males than in females....
