Artificial selection reveals sex differences in the genetic basis of sexual attractiveness.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 22 May 2018

Gosden Thomas P, Reddiex Adam J, Chenoweth Stephen F

Abstract excerpt

Mutual mate choice occurs when males and females base mating decisions on shared traits. Despite increased awareness, the extent to which mutual choice drives phenotypic change remains poorly understood. When preferences in both sexes target the same traits, it is unclear how evolution will proceed and whether responses to sexual selection from male choice will match or oppose responses to female choice....
