Intralocus sexual conflict can resolve the male-female health-survival paradox

Intralocus sexual conflict can resolve the male-female health-survival paradox

Although men have lower survival across ages, women have poorer health than men as they age. Here, Archer et al. suggest that this pattern is explained by intralocus sexual conflict and provide supporting evidence from a mathematical model and experiments with Drosophila.
