Résumé

Most vertebrates, including all mammals and birds, are sexually reproducing organisms. The implication of sexual reproduction is that an adult bird exists because a male transferred sperm to the reproductive tract of a female during copulation, one of the sperm fertilized an egg, and the ensuing embryo developed into an individual male or female that in turn can reproduce. This fundamental feature of sexual life - the need to bring together male and female units (genomes, gametes, individuals) in a sequence of interactions - is both fascinating and fraught with conflict, because selection acts on individuals to maximize their own lifetime reproductive success (or on individual units of DNA to maximize the number of copies of themselves that remain in the gene pool). As a consequence, a bewildering diversity of reproductive traits and behaviours has evolved.
