A costly chemical trait: phenotypic condition dependence of cuticular hydrocarbons in a dung beetle.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Dec 2018

Berson Jacob D, Simmons Leigh W

Abstract excerpt

Chemical traits are increasingly recognized as important cues used in mate choice. For example, the cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) of insects have been shown to influence mating success in a range of taxa. Less is known, however, about how CHCs are expressed in proportion to an individual's condition, and consequently whether CHCs can function as condition-dependent signals of quality. We investigated this...
