Sexual selection for male dominance reduces opportunities for female mate choice in the European bitterling (Rhodeus sericeus).

Molecular ecology - 1 Apr 2005

Abstract excerpt

Sexual selection involves two main mechanisms: intrasexual competition for mates and intersexual mate choice. We experimentally separated intrasexual (male-male interference competition) and intersexual (female choice) components of sexual selection in a freshwater fish, the European bitterling (Rhodeus sericeus). We compared the roles of multiple morphological and behavioural traits in male success in both...
