Individual-based simulation of sexual selection: A quantitative genetic approach
Sexual selection has been mathematically modeled using quantitative genetics as well as population genetics. Two-locus simulation models have been used to study the evolution of male display and female preference. We present an individual-based simulation model of sexual selection in a quantitative genetic context. We show that under certain conditions Fisherian self-reinforcing sexual selectio...
متن کاملPopulation- and Quantitative-Genetic Models of Selection Limits*
∗ The author is very pleased to dedicate this paper to John Dudley for his contributions to both maize and quantitative genetics. John answered what must have seemed to be an endless number of trivial questions and I thank him for his patience. Torbert Rocheford and Irwin Goldman also provided valuable input on the Illinois selection lines, and Jean-Luc Jannink for many useful comments on a dra...
متن کاملGenetic compatibility and sexual selection.
In a recent review in TREE [1], Mays and Hill discuss the interface between sexual selection for good genes (i.e. female choice based on traits indicating heritable fitness) and sexual selection for genetic compatibility (i.e. how well the genes of the parents function together in their offspring).We feel that the scopeof their contribution is somewhat limited, primarily because they implicitly...

متن کاملSexual Selection: Selfish Genetic Element Encourages Polyandry
Selfish genetic elements are ubiquitous and may impact drastically on eukaryote reproduction and evolution. A recent experimental evolution study shows that such elements could also provide an explanation for polyandry.
