Mate-choice copying: A fitness-enhancing behavior that evolves by indirect selection.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jun 2017

Santos Mauro, Sapage Manuel, Matos Margarida, Varela Susana A M

Abstract excerpt

A spatially explicit, individual-based simulation model is used to study the spread of an allele for mate-choice copying (MCC) through horizontal cultural transmission when female innate preferences do or do not coevolve with a male viability-increasing trait. Evolution of MCC is unlikely when innate female preferences coevolve with the trait, as copier females cannot express a higher preference than noncopier...
