Condition-dependent traits and the capture of genetic variance in male advertisement song.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jul 2004

Brandt L S E, Greenfield M D

Abstract excerpt

The occurrence of additive genetic variance (VA) for male sexual traits remains a major problem in evolutionary biology. Directional selection normally imposed by female choice is expected to reduce VA greatly, yet recent surveys indicate that a substantial amount remains in many species. We addressed this problem, also known as the 'lek paradox', in Achroia grisella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), an acoustic moth in...
