Genetic versus census estimators of the opportunity for sexual selection in the wild.

The American naturalist - 1 Apr 2012

Dunn Stacey J, Waits Lisette P, Byers John A

Abstract excerpt

Abstract The existence of a direct link between intensity of sexual selection and mating-system type is widely accepted. However, the quantification of sexual selection has proven problematic. Several measures of sexual selection have been proposed, including the operational sex ratio (OSR), the breeding sex ratio (BSR), and the opportunity for sexual selection (I(mates)). For a wild population of pronghorn...
