Genotype x environment interaction for male attractiveness in an acoustic moth: evidence for plasticity and canalization.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Mar 2006

Danielson-François A M, Kelly J K, Greenfield M D

Abstract excerpt

The lek paradox arises when choosy females deplete the genetic variance for male display traits from a population, yet substantial additive genetic variation (V(A)) in male traits persists. Thus, the lek paradox can be more generally stated as one of the most fundamental evolutionary questions: What maintains genetic variation in natural populations? One solution to this problem may be found in the...
