Lab-meeting on inter- and intrasexual conflict

This week's lab-meeting will take place in "Darwin" as usual between 13.30 and 15.00 (Wednesday March 7, 2011). We will discuss and give critical input on two manuscripts that deal with intersexual conflict in plants by Josefin Madjidian and another one intralocus sexual conflict and its effects on sexual dimorphism in birds by Maja Tarka. If you wish to participate and have not yet got the manuscripts to read, send Maja an e-mail (maja.tarka@zooekol.lu.se). After we have discussed these papers, I will briefly discuss the evolutionary stages of sexual dimorphism, illustrating with some data from Calopteryx-demoiselles.

Josefin and Maja have promised to bring "fika". Most welcome!
