An evolutionary limit to male mating success.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jun 2008

McGuigan Katrina, Van Homrigh Anna, Blows Mark W

Abstract excerpt

The well-known phenotypic diversity of male sexual displays, and the high levels of genetic variation reported for individual display traits have generated the expectation that male display traits, and consequently male mating success, are highly evolvable. It has not been shown however that selection for male mating success, exerted by female preferences in an unmanipulated population, results in evolutionary...
