Condition-dependence and sexual ornamentation: Effects of immune challenges on a highly sexually dimorphic grasshopper.

Insect science - 1 Aug 2018

Valverde J Pablo, Eggert Hendrik, Kurtz Joachim, Schielzeth Holger

Abstract excerpt

Sexual ornaments contribute substantially to phenotypic diversity and it is particularly relevant to understand their evolution. Ornaments can assume the function of signals-of-quality that the choosy sex uses to evaluate potential mating partners. Often there are no obvious direct benefits and investment into mate choice is primarily rewarded by beneficial alleles that are inherited to the offspring....
