Editorial: The Development and Fitness Consequences of Sex Roles

In most sexually reproducing species, males and females are characterised by differences in reproductive behaviours and life-history strategy (Kokko et al., 2006; Fairbairn, 2013). Exploring the origin and consequences of sex roles are key questions in evolutionary biology, yet we are far from understanding their developmental mechanisms and adaptive significance. We aim to highlight this research field and broaden the range of taxa and phenomena investigated in relation to sex roles.
