Genetic association between male attractiveness and female differential allocation.
Differential allocation of reproductive effort towards offspring of attractive mates is a form of post-copulatory mate choice. Although differential allocation has been demonstrated in many taxa, its evolutionary implications have received little attention. Theory predicts that mate choice will lead to a positive genetic correlation between female preference and male attractiveness. This predic...

15 صفحه اولFemale coital orgasm and male attractiveness.
Female coital orgasm may be an adaptation for preferentially retaining the sperm of males with "good genes." One indicator of good genes may be physical attractiveness. Accordingly, R. Thornhill, S. W. Gangestad, and R. Comer (1995) found that women mated to more attractive men reported an orgasm during a greater proportion of copulations than did women mated to less attractive men. The current...
متن کاملMale sexual attractiveness predicts differential ovulatory shifts in female extra-pair attraction and male mate retention
Because ancestral women faced trade-offs in choosing mates, they may have evolved to pursue a dual-mating strategy in which they secured investment through one partner and obtained good genes through others. The dual-mating theory predicts that women will display greater interest in extra-pair sex near ovulation, especially if they are mated to a primary male partner who is low in sexual attrac...
متن کاملGenetic Variation and Covariation in Male Attractiveness and Female Mating Preferences in Drosophila melanogaster
How mating preferences evolve remains one of the major unsolved mysteries in evolutionary biology. One major impediment to the study of ornament-preference coevolution is that many aspects of the theoretical literature remain loosely connected to empirical data. Theoretical models typically streamline mating preferences by describing preference functions with a single parameter, a modeling conv...
