Good genes, oxidative stress and condition-dependent sexual signals.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Jan 1999

von Schantz T, Bensch S, Grahn M, Hasselquist D, Wittzell H

Abstract excerpt

The immune and the detoxication systems of animals are characterized by allelic polymorphisms, which underlie individual differences in ability to combat assaults from pathogens and toxic compounds. Previous studies have shown that females may improve offspring survival by selecting mates on the basis of sexual ornaments and signals that honestly reveal health. In many cases the expression of these ornaments...
