Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 647. 34 pp. Uppsala ISBN 91-554591-1. This thesis examines parental condition, how it is traded off against reproduction and how it is displayed in a secondar...
متن کاملThe evolution of condition-dependent sexual dimorphism.
Theory suggests that the net benefit of allocating resources to a sexual trait depends both on the strength of sexual selection on that trait and on individual condition. This predicts a tight coevolution between sexual dimorphism and condition dependence and suggests that these patterns of within-sex and between-sex variation may share a common genetic and developmental basis. Although conditi...
متن کاملSexual Selection and Condition-Dependent Mate Preferences
The last decade has witnessed considerable theoretical and empirical investigation of how male sexual ornaments evolve. This strong male-biased perspective has resulted in the relative neglect of variation in female mate preferences and its consequences for ornament evolution. As sexual selection is a co-evolutionary process between males and females, ignoring variation in females overlooks a k...
متن کاملCondition-dependent sexual selection can accelerate adaptation
Sexual selection is responsible for much of the spectacular natural diversity of mating traits. It is unclear, however, how this powerful evolutionary force affects the evolution of traits unrelated to mating. Four recent theoretical studies have argued that sexual selection might increase the rate of adaptation, but each relies on the assumption of a substantial positive covariance between mal...
متن کاملCondition-dependent sexual traits and social dominance in the house finch
Elaboration of costly sexual traits can reduce investment in other aspects of reproduction, such as parental care or intrasexual competition, which may lead to the evolution of alternative mating tactics. In house finches (Carpodacus mexicanus), less elaborately ornamented (dull) males tend to dominate more elaborated (redder) males, but redder males pair earlier and invest more in parental car...
