Success in mating: a coordinated approach to fitness through genotypes incorporating genes for stress resistance and heterozygous advantage under stress.

Abstract excerpt

Natural populations are normally exposed to substantial environmental stress. In these circumstances, an association occurs between success in mating and extremes of sexual ornaments, rapid development, long life span, and low fluctuating morphological asymmetry. This association between important fitness traits depends on high metabolic efficiency underlain by genes for stress resistance and heterozygous...
