The strength of indirect selection on female mating preferences.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 18 Feb 1997

Kirkpatrick M, Barton N H

Abstract excerpt

An important but controversial class of hypotheses concerning the evolution of female preferences for extreme male mating displays involves "indirect selection." Even in the absence of direct fitness effects, preference for males with high overall fitness can spread via a genetic correlation that develops between preference alleles and high fitness genotypes. Here we develop a quantitative expression for the...
