Does segregating variation in sexual or microhabitat preferences lead to non-random mating within a population of Drosophila melanogaster?

Abstract excerpt

Variation in female choice for mates has implications for the maintenance of genetic variation and the evolution of male traits. Yet, estimates of population-level variation in male mating success owing to female genotype are rare. Here, we used a panel of recombinant inbred lines to estimate the strength of selection at many genetic loci in a single generation and attempt to assess differences between females...
