The evolution of mate choice remains controversial, particularly when the choosy sex receives nothing but genes from their mates. Indirect benefits are predicted to be meagre because persistent female choice depletes genetic variation in the male traits under sexual selection. This chapter suggests that the theoretical basis of local adaptation and mate choice has yet to be satisfactorily integrated, but that such integration is highly desirable. Moreover, because local adaptation is central to many important topics including the evolution of dispersal and range size, resilience to climate change and speciation, understanding the evolution and genetic consequences of mate choice under Genotype‐by‐Environment Interactions (GEIs) is a priority.
