Direct benefits of choosing a high-fitness mate can offset the indirect costs associated with intralocus sexual conflict.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jun 2017

Pischedda Alison, Chippindale Adam K

Abstract excerpt

Intralocus sexual conflict generates a cost to mate choice: high-fitness partners transmit genetic variation that confers lower fitness to offspring of the opposite sex. Our earlier work in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, revealed that these indirect genetic costs were sufficient to reverse potential "good genes" benefits of sexual selection. However, mate choice can also confer direct fitness benefits by...
