Quantitative measure of sexual selection with respect to the operational sex ratio: a comparison of selection indices.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Jan 2007

Mills Suzanne C, Grapputo Alessandro, Koskela Esa, Mappes Tapio

Abstract excerpt

Despite numerous indices proposed to predict the evolution of mating systems, a unified measure of sexual selection has remained elusive. Three previous studies have compared indices of sexual selection under laboratory conditions. Here, we use a genetic study to compare the most widely used measures of sexual selection in natural populations. We explored the mating and reproductive successes of male and female...
