Female guppies agree to differ: phenotypic and genetic variation in mate-choice behavior and the consequences for sexual selection.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Aug 2001

Brooks R, Endler J A

Abstract excerpt

Variation among females in mate choice may influence evolution by sexual selection. The genetic basis of this variation is of interest because the elaboration of mating preferences requires additive genetic variation in these traits. Here we measure the repeatability and heritability of two components of female choosiness (responsiveness and discrimination) and of female preference functions for the multiple...
