The sexual selection continuum.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Jul 2002

Kokko Hanna, Brooks Robert, McNamara John M, Houston Alasdair I

Abstract excerpt

The evolution of mate choice for genetic benefits has become the tale of two hypotheses: Fisher's 'run-away' and 'good genes', or viability indicators. These hypotheses are often pitted against each other as alternatives, with evidence that attractive males sire more viable offspring interpreted as support for good genes and with a negative or null relationship between mating success of sons and other components...
