The causes and evolutionary consequences of variation in female mate choice in insects: the effects of individual state, genotypes and environments.

Current opinion in insect science - 1 Jun 2018

Kelly Clint D

Abstract excerpt

Sexual selection generally involves males evolving secondary sexual characters that satisfy the mating preferences of females. Behavioral ecologists have spent considerable research effort on identifying how variation in sexually-selected traits in insects is maintained among males at the expense of investigating the proximate and ultimate causes of variation in female mating preferences for those male traits....
