Sexual selection and condition-dependent mate preferences.

Current biology : CB - 5 Sept 2006

Cotton Samuel, Small Jennifer, Pomiankowski Andrew

Abstract excerpt

The last decade has witnessed considerable theoretical and empirical investigation of how male sexual ornaments evolve. This strong male-biased perspective has resulted in the relative neglect of variation in female mate preferences and its consequences for ornament evolution. As sexual selection is a co-evolutionary process between males and females, ignoring variation in females overlooks a key aspect of this...
