Testing genetic models of mate choice evolution in the wild.

Trends in ecology & evolution - 1 Aug 2006

Charmantier Anne, Sheldon Ben C

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the mechanisms driving the evolution of mate choice, particularly the importance of indirect genetic benefits, remains a challenge, especially in wild populations. Three recent studies have attempted to quantify the importance of indirect benefits in wild bird populations using approaches derived from quantitative genetic models of mate choice. In all three cases, no support was found for a role of...
