Adaptive genetic complementarity in mate choice coexists with selection for elaborate sexual traits.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Aug 2006

Oh Kevin P, Badyaev Alexander V

Abstract excerpt

Choice of genetically unrelated mates is widely documented, yet it is not known how self-referential mate choice can co-occur with commonly observed directional selection on sexual displays. Across 10 breeding seasons in a wild bird population, we found strong fitness benefits of matings between...
