Abstract excerpt
A central challenge in biology is to understand how complex behaviors evolve. Reproductive behaviors are frequently subject to strong selection and complex behavioral traits often evolve as an integrated package. However, it is unclear whether suites of traits evolve through a few pleiotropic genetic changes, each affecting many behaviors, or by accumulating several changes that, when combined, give rise to an...
