Darwinian balancing selection: predation counters sexual selection in a wild insect.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Feb 2015

Ercit Kyla, Gwynne Darryl T

Abstract excerpt

The potential viability costs of sexually selected traits are central to hypotheses about the evolution of exaggerated traits. Estimates of these costs in nature can come from selection analyses using multiple components of fitness during the same time frame. For a population of tree crickets (Oecanthus nigricornis: Gryllidae), we analyzed viability and sexual selection on male traits by comparing Oecanthus prey...
