Runaway sexual selection without genetic correlations: social environments and flexible mate choice initiate and enhance the Fisher process.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Sept 2012

Bailey Nathan W, Moore Allen J

Abstract excerpt

Female mating preferences are often flexible, reflecting the social environment in which they are expressed. Associated indirect genetic effects (IGEs) can affect the rate and direction of evolutionary change, but sexual selection models do not capture these dynamics. We incorporate IGEs into quantitative genetic models to explore how variation in social environments and mate choice flexibility influence...
