Fluctuating mate preferences in a marine fish.

Biology letters - 23 Feb 2010

Lehtonen Topi K, Wong Bob B M, Lindström Kai

Abstract excerpt

According to theory, directional female choice for male sexual ornaments is expected to erode underlying genetic variation. Considerable attention, in this regard, has been given to understanding the ubiquity of heritable genetic variation in both female choice and male sexual traits. One intriguing possibility emerging from this work is that persistent genetic variation could be maintained, over time, by...
