A Guide to Sexual Selection Theory (2012, background): “Importantly, selection for female resistance is direct, because any female that evolves higher levels of resistance reaps the benefits in terms of increased fecundity or survival (Kokko et al. 2006).”
The Adaptive Calibration Model of stress responsivity (2010, neutral): “In particular, our model draws extensively on life history theory (Ellis et al., 2009; Roff, 2002), sexual selection and parental investment theory (Trivers, 1972; Kokko and Jennions, 2008), and the theory of developmental plasticity (West-Eberhard, 2003).”
LIFE HISTORY AND THE EVOLUTION OF PARENTAL CARE (2010, neutral): “…has focused on explaining which sex should provide care (Williams 1966; Baylis 1981; Gross and Sargent 1985; Queller 1997; McNamara et al. 2000; Kokko and Jennions 2008), how much care should be provided (Carlisle 1982; Winkler 1987; Clark and Ydenberg 1990; Westneat and Sherman 1993; Gross…”
Cooperating to compete: altruism, sexual selection and causes of male reproductive cooperation (2014, neutral): “Empirical and theoretical studies in areas such as sexual conflict and parental investment theory ( Chapman , Arnqvist , Bangham , & Rowe , 2003 ; Kokko & Jennions , 2008 ) , have revealed that the reproductive strategies of males and females are not as clearly distinct as textbook accounts would…”
Male mate choice: why sequential choice can make its evolution difficult (2010, background): “This exercise serves to reemphasize the importance of analysing mate availability, not merely available variation in the benefits offered by potential mates, and also places mate choice studies in the context of population-wide sex ratios (Fromhage et al. 2005, 2008; Kokko & Jennions 2008).”
Beyond the nuclear family: an evolutionary perspective on parenting (2016, background): “Kokko and Jennions suggest the explanation for widespread female-biased care is more complicated than Trivers’ original arguments, and may vary between (and within) species, depending on adult sex ratios (which may depend on the impact of parental care on mortality rates), paternity certainty, varia”
A framework for studying social complexity (2019, background): “social organization may also predict the care system in some cases—pair-living species are more likely to exhibit biparental care—and the mating system, especially the degree of reproductive skew, may even predicate the type of parental care, particularly the presence of paternal care (Kokko and Jen”
Patterns of parental care in vertebrates (2012, background): “The strong link between parental effort and mating effort (and sexual selection patterns in general) has also driven the ever-growing interest in parental behaviour (Williams 1966; Trivers 1972; Emlen and Oring 1977; Kokko and Jennions 2008).”
Spawning period of Mediterranean marine fishes (2010, background): “Sperm competition can be particularly high in group spawning species (female multiple mating or multiple males mating with a single female: Kokko and Jennions 2008), or where alterna- tive male mating tactics occur (nesting behaviour and sneaking spawning in the grass goby,…”
Sex Differences in Attachment Emerge in Middle Childhood: An Evolutionary Hypothesis (2010, background): “reasons explained by Trivers’ (1972) parental investment theory and its subsequent elaborations (see Kokko & Jennions, 2008 ).”
Theoretical foundations of parental care (2012, background): “While these arguments are intuitively appealing, we now know that past investment alone cannot explain future differences in investment (Dawkins and Carlisle 1976; Kokko and Jennions 2008).”
