Quantitative genetics of breeding coloration in sand lizards; genic capture unlikely to maintain additive genetic variance.

Heredity - 1 May 2023

Lindsay Willow R, Bererhi Badreddine, Ljungström Gabriella, Wapstra Erik, Olsson Mats

Abstract excerpt

Sexual selection on fitness-determining traits should theoretically erode genetic variance and lead to low heritability. However, many sexually selected traits maintain significant phenotypic and additive genetic variance, with explanations for this "lek paradox" including genic capture due to condition-dependence, and breaks on directional selection due to environmental sources of variance including maternal...
