Manifestations of sexual selection may depend on the genetic bases of sex determination.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Oct 1994

Hastings I M

Abstract excerpt

A variant of the 'handicap' model of sexual selection is described which predicts that the evolution of ornate male traits occurs more easily in species where females are the heterogametic sex. The process occurs even when the alleles conferring high paternal 'fitness' remain advantageous for only a short time due to a rapidly changing physical or biotic environment: the timescale of this advantage may approach...
