On the evolution of heightened condition dependence of male sexual displays.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Mar 2011

Gosden T P, Chenoweth S F

Abstract excerpt

The maintenance of genetic variation in male sexual display traits in the face of strong directional sexual selection from female preferences is an ongoing evolutionary conundrum. Condition dependence and the genic capture hypothesis are often cited as theoretical resolutions to this problem, yet little is known about the ability of condition dependence itself to evolve. We set out to test how a suite of...
