Condition dependence and the maintenance of genetic variance in a sexually dimorphic black scavenger fly.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Nov 2014

Dmitriew C, Blanckenhorn W U

Abstract excerpt

The maintenance of genetic variation in traits under strong sexual selection is a longstanding problem in evolutionary biology. The genic capture model proposes that this problem can be explained by the evolution of condition dependence in exaggerated male traits. We tested the predictions that condition dependence should be more pronounced in male sexual traits and that genetic variance in expression of these...
