Evolutionary divergence in competitive mating success through female mating bias for good genes.

Science advances - 1 May 2018

Dugand Robert J, Kennington W Jason, Tomkins Joseph L

Abstract excerpt

Despite heritable variation for univariate sexually selected traits, recent analyses exploring multivariate traits find evidence consistent with the lek paradox in showing no genetic variation available to choosy females, and therefore no genetic benefits of choice. We used the preferences of Drosophila melanogaster females to exert bidirectional selection on competitive male mating success to test for the...
