The genetic architecture of fitness in a seed beetle: assessing the potential for indirect genetic benefits of female choice.

BMC evolutionary biology - 26 Oct 2008

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Quantifying the amount of standing genetic variation in fitness represents an empirical challenge. Unfortunately, the shortage of detailed studies of the genetic architecture of fitness has hampered progress in several domains of evolutionary biology. One such area is the study of sexual selection. In particular, the evolution of adaptive female choice by indirect genetic benefits relies on the...
