Curves as traits: genetic and environmental variation in mate preference functions.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Feb 2013

Abstract excerpt

Study of the genetic and developmental architecture of mate preferences lags behind the study of sexual ornaments. This is in part because of the challenges involved in describing mate preferences, which are expressed as a function of variation in ornaments. We used the function-valued approach to test for genetic and environmental components of variation in female mate preferences in Enchenopa treehoppers...
