Honesty, perception and population divergence in sexually selected traits.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Jul 1993

Schluter D, Price T

Abstract excerpt

We investigate the evolution of female preference for one and two male ornaments, to address two issues in sexual selection: (i) what factors affect the evolution of female preferences; and (ii) how do preferences diverge between isolated populations, leading to speciation? We assume that the male traits are costly indicators of male condition ('handicaps'), and that females benefit directly from a high-condition...
