Heritability of a sexually selected character expressed in both sexes.

Nature - 9 Mar 1995

Wilcockson R W, Crean C S, Day T H

Abstract excerpt

Sexual selection is thought to be responsible for the evolution of exaggerated male characters and of female mate preferences. Evolutionary mechanisms driven by an advantage to the progeny are only effective if the preferred character has a large genetic component of variance; in most systems in which sexual selection operates, little is known of the relevant genetics. We have measured parent-offspring...
