Different ornaments signal male health and MHC variation in two populations of a warbler.

Molecular ecology - 1 Apr 2015

Whittingham Linda A, Freeman-Gallant Corey R, Taff Conor C, Dunn Peter O

Abstract excerpt

Male traits that signal health and vigour are used by females to choose better quality mates, but in some cases the male trait selected by females differs among populations. Multiple male traits can be maintained through female mate choice if both traits are equally honest indicators of male quality, but tests of this prediction are rare. By choosing males based on such traits, females could gain direct benefits...
