Environmental origins of sexually selected variation and a critique of the fluctuating asymmetry-sexual selection hypothesis.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Mar 2005

Polak Michal, Starmer William T

Abstract excerpt

Identifying sources of phenotypic variability in secondary sexual traits is critical for understanding their signaling properties, role in sexual selection, and for predicting their evolutionary dynamics. The present study tests for the effects of genotype, developmental temperature, and their interaction, on size and fluctuating asymmetry of the male sex comb, a secondary sexual character, in Drosophila...
