Genetic variance of sexually selected traits in waxmoths: maintenance by genotype x environment interaction.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jun 2000

Jia F Y, Greenfield M D, Collins R D

Abstract excerpt

When traits experience directional selection, such as that imposed by sexual selection, their genetic variance is expected to diminish. Nonetheless, theory and findings from sexual selection predict and demonstrate that male traits favored by female choice retain substantial amounts of additive genetic variance. We explored this dilemma through an ecological genetic approach and focused on the potential...
