Quantitative genetics of female mate preferences in an ancestral and a novel environment.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Sept 2010

Delcourt Matthieu, Blows Mark W, Rundle Howard D

Abstract excerpt

A female's mate preference is a potentially complex function relating variation in multiple male phenotypes with her probability of accepting individual males as a mate. Estimating the quantitative genetic basis preference functions within a population is empirically challenging yet key to understanding preference evolution. We employed a recently described approach that uses random-coefficient mixed models in...
