The role of sexual preferences in intrasexual female competition.

BMC evolutionary biology - 14 Nov 2012

Frame Alicia M

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: While search costs have long been understood to affect the evolution of female preference, other costs associated with mating have been the focus of much less attention. Here I consider a novel mate choice cost: female-female intrasexual competition, that is, when females compete with each other for mates. This competition results in cost to female fecundity, such as a reduction in fertility due to...
