The quantitative genetics of sexually selected traits, preferred traits and preference: a review and analysis of the data.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Nov 2014

Prokuda A Y, Roff D A

Abstract excerpt

The maintenance of variation in sexually selected traits is a puzzle that has received increasing attention in the past several decades. Traits that are related to fitness, such as life-history or sexually selected traits, are expected to have low additive genetic variance (and hence, heritability) due to the rapid fixation of advantageous alleles. However, previous analyses have suggested that the heritabilities...
