Mate choice evolution, dominance effects, and the maintenance of genetic variation.

Journal of theoretical biology - 21 Jan 2007

Lehmann Laurent, Keller Lukas F, Kokko Hanna

Abstract excerpt

Female mate choice influences the maintenance of genetic variation by altering the mating success of males with different genotypes. The evolution of preferences themselves, on the other hand, depends on genetic variation present in the population. Few models have tracked this feedback between a choice gene and its effects on genetic variation, in particular when genes that determine offspring viability and...
