Evolution by natural selection is a scientific law and not just a theory by Daniel J.M. Crouch, Walter F. Bodmer

“…They, however, did not have access to a mechanism of inheritance, which was needed for a proper understanding of how evolution by natural selection could work. Mendel’s discovery of the basic laws of inheritance in diploid sexual organisms enabled Fisher, Haldane, and Wright to provide a theoretical framework for understanding the selective process of evolution by natural selection. …”

Yeti claws: Cheliped sexual dimorphism and symmetry in deep-sea yeti crabs (Kiwaidae). by Christopher Nicolai Roterman, Molly McArthur, Cecilia Laverty Baralle, Leigh Marsh, Jon T Copley

“…This marked difference is indicative of either male-male competition for mate access, sexual selection, or differential energy allocation (growth vs reproduction) between males and females, as observed in other decapod crustaceans. …”

Experimental data suggest between population reversal in the condition dependence of two sexually selected traits by Gergely Hegyi, Miklós Laczi, Gyula Szabó, Dóra Kötél, Fanni Sarkadi, János Török

“…Abstract When viewing mate choice as a process of adaptive evolution, the condition-dependence of sexual ornaments represents a central pillar. …”

Colour polymorphism and conspicuousness do not increase speciation rates in Lacertids by de Solan, Thomas, Sinervo, Barry, Geniez, Philippe, David, Patrice, Crochet, Pierre-André

“…Conspicuous colours are evolutionary labile, and often involved in intraspecific sexual signalling and thus may provide a raw material from which reproductive isolation can easily evolve, while polymorphism could favour rapid evolution of new lineages through morphic speciation. …”

Does sociality affect evolutionary speed? by Socias-Martínez, Lluís, Peckre, Louise Rachel

“…Studies in this perspective have investigated cladogenetic effects of sexual selection, while non-sexual contexts have been relatively ignored. …”
