Abstract
This chapter investigates the impacts of human-induced environmental change on sexually selected behaviours. It describes the dramatic effects of environmental changes on reproductive behaviour, highlighting on a case study done to male beetles, cichlid fishes, and frogs. It provides an overview of the mechanisms of sexual selection and explains how they depend on the environment. It examines the effects of environmental disturbances on sexually selected behaviours, and what consequences these might have for the fate of individuals, populations, and species. It also considers the degree to which animals can adjust their sexually selected behaviour to environmental change, and whether these behavioural responses can help populations to persist under humanaltered conditions.
