Effectiveness of sexual selection in preventing fitness deterioration in bulb mite populations under relaxed natural selection.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jan 2004

Radwan J, Unrug J, Snigórska K, Gawrońska K

Abstract excerpt

Under the 'good genes' mechanism of sexual selection (SS), females benefit from mate choice indirectly: their offspring inherit genes of the preferred, high quality fathers. Recent models assume that the genetic variance for male quality is maintained by deleterious mutations. Consequently, SS can be predicted to remove deleterious mutations from populations. We tested this prediction by relaxing selection in...
