The quest for good genes: Epigamic traits, fitness, MHC and multilocus heterozygosity in the guppy.

Molecular ecology - 1 Sept 2023

Przesmycka Karolina, Herdegen-Radwan Magdalena, Phillips Karl P, Mohammed Ryan S, Radwan Jacek

Abstract excerpt

The 'good genes' hypothesis for the evolution of male secondary sexual traits poses that female preferences for such traits are driven by indirect genetic benefits. However, support for the hypothesis remains ambiguous, and, in particular, the genetic basis for the benefits has rarely been investigated. Here, we use seminatural populations of Trinidadian guppies to investigate whether sexually selected traits...
