  abstract = {{S}exually selected traits are predicted to show condition dependence by capturing the genetic quality of its bearer. {I}n separate-sexed organisms, this will ultimately translate into condition dependence of reproductive success of the sex that experiences sexual selection, which is typically the male. {S}uch condition dependence of reproductive success is predicted to be higher in males than females under conditions promoting intense sexual selection. {F}or simultaneous hermaphrodites, however, sex allocation theory predicts that individuals in poor condition channel relatively more resources into the male sex function at the expense of the female function. {T}hus, male reproductive success is expected to be less condition dependent than female reproductive success. {W}e subjected individuals of the simultaneously hermaphroditic snail {P}hysa acuta to two feeding treatments to test for condition dependence of male and female reproductive success under varying levels of male-male competition. {C}ondition dependence was found for female, but not for male, reproductive success, meaning that selection on condition is relatively stronger through the female sex function. {T}his effect was consistent over both male-male competition treatments. {D}ecomposition of male and female reproductive performance revealed that individuals in poor condition copulated more in their male role, indicating an increased male allocation to mate acquisition. {T}hese findings suggest that sex-specific condition dependence of reproductive success is at least partially driven by condition-dependent sex allocation. {W}e discuss the implications of condition-dependent sex allocation for the evolution of sexually selected traits in simultaneous hermaphrodites.},
