Fisher's sons' effect in sexual selection: absent, intermittent or just low experimental power?

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Dec 2016

Sharma M D, Wilson A J, Hosken D J

Abstract excerpt

The Fisherian sexual selection paradigm has been called the null model of sexual selection. At its heart is the expectation of a genetic correlation (rG ) between female preference and male trait. However, recent meta-analysis has shown estimated correlations are often extremely weak and not statistically significant. We show here that systematic failure of studies to reject the null hypothesis that rG = 0 is...
