Males
and females in many species are often quite different from one another.
The sex of an individual can have profound effects on how an organisms
behaves, how it looks, how it lives and, in some cases, even how it
dies. These differences are the product of different evolutionary forces
acting on males and females, sometimes creating substantial conflicts
between the sexes. In her talk, Judith Mank gave a quick tour of how sex
is genetically programmed and how sex differences evolve.
Judith
Mank is Professor in the Department of Genetics, Evolution and
Environment at University College London. She is interested in
understanding how form, behaviour and reproductive patterns have evolved
through selective pressures.
