An experimental test of frequency-dependent selection on male mating strategy in the field.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Aug 2007

Bleay C, Comendant T, Sinervo B

Abstract excerpt

We provide field-based experimental evidence for the frequency-dependent nature of the fitness of alternative mating strategies. We manipulated the frequency of genetically determined phenotypic strategies in six wild populations of the side-blotched lizard, Uta stansburiana. The within-population pattern of mating was assessed using nine microsatellite loci to assign paternity. Within populations of the...
