Abstract

Little attention has been given to how males competing for mates can facilitate the evolution and persistence of new species. We expand the current framework for how new species evolve (speciation) to include male competition, drawing on recent research to show how male competition contributes to divergence between co-occurring or spatially isolated populations. We also identify interactions with female mate choice and environmental variation, and formulate a research program that will move this field forward.
