Frequency-dependent selection on female morphs driven by premating interactions with males.

The American naturalist - 1 Jul 2015

Bots Jessica, Iserbyt Arne, Van Gossum Hans, Hammers Martijn, Sherratt Thomas N

Abstract excerpt

Species showing color polymorphisms-the presence of two or more genetically determined color morphs within a single population-are excellent systems for studying the selective forces driving the maintenance of genetic diversity. Despite a shortage of empirical evidence, it is often suggested that negative frequency-dependent mate preference by males (or diet choice by predators) results in fitness benefits for...
