How to quantify (the response to) sexual selection on traits.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Sept 2018

Henshaw Jonathan M, Jennions Michael D, Kruuk Loeske E B

Abstract excerpt

Natural selection operates via fitness components like mating success, fecundity, and longevity, which can be understood as intermediaries in the causal process linking traits to fitness. In particular, sexual selection occurs when traits influence mating or fertilization success, which, in turn, influences fitness. We show how to quantify both these steps in a single path analysis, leading to better estimates of...
