Conflict between direct and indirect benefits of female choice in desert Drosophila.

Biology letters - 22 Feb 2007

Onealt Elen, Connallon Tim, Knowles L Lacey

Abstract excerpt

Identifying the factors that contribute to the adaptive significance of mating preferences is one major goal of evolutionary research and is largely unresolved. Both direct and indirect benefits can contribute to mate choice evolution. Failure to consider the interaction between individual consequences of mate choice may obscure the opposing effects of individual costs and benefits. We investigate direct and...
