Adaptive Significance of Monogamy in the Trumpet Manucode Manucodia keraudrenii (Aves: Paradisaeidae)

Beehler, Bruce McP (1985)

Bayesian animals sense ecological constraints to predict fitness and organize individually flexible reproductive decisions

Gowaty, Patricia Adair; Hubbell, Stephen P. (2013)

Choosy males in Jamaican field crickets

Bertram, Susan M.; Loranger, Michelle J.; Thomson, Ian R.; Harrison, Sarah J.; Ferguson, Genevieve L.; Reifer, Mykell L.; Corlett, Deborah H.; Gowaty, Patricia Adair (2017)

Male mate choice is an often neglected aspect of sexual selection studies. While theory predicts that females should exhibit mate choice due to their comparatively greater investment in gametes, males may also exhibit mate ...

A conceptual review of mate choice: stochastic demography, within-sex phenotypic plasticity, and individual flexibility

Ah-King, Malin; Gowaty, Patricia Adair (2016)

Mate choice hypotheses usually focus on trait variation of chosen individuals. Recently, mate choice studies have increasingly attended to the environmental circumstances affecting variation in choosers' behavior and ...

Eighteen microsatellite loci developed from western burrowing owls (Athene cunicularia hypugaea)

Faircloth, Brant C.; Title, Alexandra; Tan, Kevin; Welty, Justin; Belthoff, James R.; Gowaty, Patricia Adair (2010)

Western burrowing owls (Athene cunicularia hypugaea) are ground-dwelling owls distributed throughout western North America. Because of population declines, this species is considered endangered in Canada, and burrowing ...

The evolution of multiple mating costs and benefits of polyandry to females and of polygyny to males

Gowaty, Patricia Adair (2012)

Polyandry is a paradox: why do females mate multiple times when a single ejaculate often provides enough sperm for lifetime egg production? Gowaty et al. addressed explanations for polyandry in Drosophila pseudoobscura ...

The evolutionary origins of mating failures and multiple mating

Gowaty, Patricia Adair; Hubbell, Stephen P. (2013)

Female 'mating failures' seem a paradox similar to the paradox of polyandry. To illustrate the twin paradoxes of female mating failures and polyandry, we assume that individuals, not sexes, trade-off time available for ...

Habitat structure and colony structure constrain extrapair paternity in a colonial bird

Ramos, Alejandra G.; Nunziata, Schyler O.; Lance, Stacey L.; Rodríguez, Cristina; Faircloth, Brant C.; Gowaty, Patricia Adair; Drummond, Hugh (2014)

Individual variation in sexual fidelity and extrapair paternity (EPP) is widely attributed to environmental heterogeneity, but the only variables known to be influential are food abundance and density of conspecific breeders ...

Linking mating preferences to sexually selected traits and offspring viability: good versus complementary genes hypotheses

Bertram, Susan M.; Loranger, Michelle J.; Thomson, Ian R.; Harrison, Sarah J.; Ferguson, Genevieve L.; Reifer, Mykell L.; Corlett, Deborah H.; Gowaty, Patricia Adair (2016)

Mendel's law reveals fatal flaws in Bateman's 1948 study of mating and fitness

Gowaty, Patricia Adair; Kim, Y. K.; Anderson, W. W. (2013)

Microsatellite markers isolated from Drosophila hydei

Peters, Maureen B.; Hagen, Cris; Snyder, Brian; Glenn, Travis C.; Gowaty, Patricia Adair (2009)

No evidence of sexual selection in a repetition of Bateman's classic study of Drosophila melanogaster

Gowaty, Patricia Adair; Kim, Yong-Kyu; Anderson, Wyatt W. (2012)

Polyandry enhances offspring viability with survival costs to mothers only when mating exclusively with virgin males in Drosophila melanogaster

Castrezana, Sergio; Faircloth, Brant C.; Bridges, William C.; Gowaty, Patricia Adair (2017)

A prominent hypothesis for polyandry says that male-male competitive drivers induce males to coerce already-mated females to copulate, suggesting that females are more likely to be harassed in the presence of multiple ...

Polyandry increases offspring viability and mother productivity but does not decrease mother survival in Drosophila pseudoobscura

Gowaty, Patricia Adair; Kim, Yong-Kyu; Rawlings, Jessica; Anderson, W. W. (2010)

Polyandrous mating is common, but the benefits for females of polyandry remain controversial. To test whether mating with multiple males affects female fitness, we compared lifetime components of fitness of three experimental ...

Preference status does not indicate intrinsic quality differences in Drosophila pseudoobscura

Kim, Y. K.; Weber, M. B.; Anderson, W. W.; Gowaty, Patricia Adair (2010)

"What were they thinking? Is population ecology a science?"

Gowaty, Patricia Adair (2012)

A reappraisal of Bateman's classic study of intrasexual selection

Snyder, Brian F.; Gowaty, Patricia Adair (2007)

Bateman's (1948) study showing greater variances in number of mates and reproductive success in male than female Drosophila melanogaster is a foundational paper in sexual selection. Here we show for the first time that ...

Reproductive compensation

Gowaty, Patricia Adair (2008)

The reproductive compensation hypothesis says that individuals constrained by ecological or social forces to reproduce with partners they do not prefer compensate for likely offspring viability deficits. The reproductive ...

Reproductive decisions under ecological constraints: It's about time

Gowaty, Patricia Adair; Hubbell, Stephen P. (2009)

The switch point theorem (SPT) is the quantitative statement of the hypothesis that stochastic effects on survival, mate encounter, and latency affect individuals' time available for mating, the mean and variance in ...

A sex-neutral theoretical framework for making strong inferences about the origins of sex roles
