Runaway Sexual Selection without Genetic Correlations: Social Environments and Flexible Mate Choice Initiate and Enhance the Fisher Process
Female mating preferences are often flexible, reflecting the social environment in which they are expressed. Associated indirect genetic effects (IGEs) can affect the rate and direction of evolutionary change, but sexual selection models do not capture these dynamics. We incorporate IGEs into quantitative genetic models to explore how variation in social environments and mate choice flexibility...

Heritability, environmentaland genetic correlations between body weight at hatch (BW0), eight (BW8) and twelve (BW12) weeksof age, body weight at sexual maturity (BWM), age at sexual maturity (AFE),the weight of the first egg laid by the hen (EWM), the mean egg weight from 28 to 32 wks (EW28-32) and egg numbers (ENs) were estimated by the restricted maximum likelihood method under an animal mod...
متن کاملCondition Dependence of a Multicomponent Sexual Display Trait in <italic>Drosophila serrata</italic>
Theory predicts that costly sexual displays should evolve condition dependence if the marginal fitness gain from trait exaggeration is greater for highthan for low-condition individuals and that the strength of condition dependence should increase with the strength of directional selection. While there is substantial support for the first prediction, evidence for the latter is much weaker. We u...
متن کاملComparison of the attachment to parents, sexual knowledge and attitude and attitude to mate selection in students of divorced and normal families
The aim of the present study was to examine students’ attachment to parents, sexual knowledge and attitude and attitude to mate selection in divorced and normal families. The statistical population consisted of all female high school students in Korramabad in the academic year 2017-18. 180 students (90 from divorced and 90 from normal families ) participated in this study, completing the Atta...
متن کاملDimensionality of mate choice, sexual isolation, and speciation.
Multiple cues, across multiple sensory modalities, are involved in mate choice in a wide range of animal taxa. This multiplicity leads to the prediction that, in adaptive radiations, sexual isolation results from divergence in multiple dimensions. However, difficulties in directly measuring preferences and detecting multiple effects limit our ability to empirically assess the number of independ...
