Recently, with collaborators, I have been studying the effects of mate choice on offspring viability in Drosophila pseudoobscura , mallards, mice and several other species. According to Sexual Dialectics Theory these forces result in on-going, perhaps ubiquitous sexual conflict that is characterized by dynamical, oscillating interactions between the sexes over the control of reproduction.
