Tazzyman S, Bonhoeffer S
Mol Biol Evol
. 2014 Dec;
32(12):3079-88.
PMID: 25540453
Mobile genetic elements such as plasmids are important for the evolution of prokaryotes. It has been suggested that there are differences between functions coded for by mobile genes and those...

Tazzyman S, Hall A
ISME J
. 2014 Oct;
9(4):809-20.
PMID: 25268496
The long-term persistence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria depends on their fitness relative to other genotypes in the absence of drugs. Outside the laboratory, viruses that parasitize bacteria (phages) are ubiquitous, but...

Tazzyman S, Iwasa Y, Pomiankowski A
Evolution
. 2014 May;
68(9):2534-49.
PMID: 24837599
Why are traits that function as secondary sexual ornaments generally exaggerated in size compared to the naturally selected optimum, and not reduced? Because they deviate from the naturally selected optimum,...

Tazzyman S, Bonhoeffer S
Evolution
. 2014 Apr;
68(7):2066-78.
PMID: 24749717
Antibiotic resistance provides evolutionary rescue for bacterial populations under the threat of extinction through antibiotics. It can arise de novo through mutation in the population, or be obtained from other...

Tazzyman S, Iwasa Y, Pomiankowski A
Evolution
. 2013 Oct;
68(1):216-29.
PMID: 24099137
Why are there so few small secondary sexual characters? Theoretical models predict that sexual selection should lead to reduction as often as exaggeration, and yet we mainly associate secondary sexual...

Tazzyman S, Bonhoeffer S
Theor Popul Biol
. 2013 Oct;
90:49-55.
PMID: 24080312
Mobile genetic elements such as plasmids are increasingly becoming thought of as evolutionarily important. Being horizontally transmissible is generally assumed to be beneficial for a gene. Using several simple modelling...

Harley E, Birge L, Small J, Tazzyman S, Pomiankowski A, Fowler K
Ecol Evol
. 2013 Jun;
3(6):1529-38.
PMID: 23789065
The phenotype-linked fertility hypothesis proposes that male fertility is advertised via phenotypic signals, explaining female preference for highly sexually ornamented males. An alternative view is that highly attractive males constrain...

Tazzyman S, Seymour R, Pomiankowski A
Proc Biol Sci
. 2011 Jun;
279(1727):334-40.
PMID: 21653586
Benefits accruing to females who exercise mate choice have been defined to be either 'direct' or 'indirect'. We suggest an alternative distinction: benefits can be considered 'fixed', meaning they are...

Tazzyman S, Iwasa Y
Evolution
. 2009 Dec;
64(6):1719-28.
PMID: 20015236
The variation in color pattern between populations of the poison-dart frog Oophaga pumilio across the Bocas del Toro archipelago in Panama is suggested to be due to sexual selection, as...

Am Nat
. 2009 Jul;
174(3):E71-82.
PMID: 19627229
Sperm competition theory has largely focused on the evolution of ejaculate expenditure strategies across different species or populations or across discrete mating roles on which sperm competition operates differentially. Few...
