How does environmental change alter the relative importance of sexual selection and sexual conflict for the rate of adaptation? Contrary to theoretical predictions, Martinossi-Allibert et al. (2017) found that the effects of intralocus sexual conflict were not reduced in a novel environment. They suggest that there could be underappreciated shifts in sexually antagonistic selection in response to environmental changes. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
