Evolution of female choice under intralocus sexual conflict and genotype-by-environment interactions (2018)
Journal Article
Li, X., & Holman, L. (2018). Evolution of female choice under intralocus sexual conflict and genotype-by-environment interactions. Philosophical Transactions B: Biological Sciences, 373(1757), 20170425. https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2017.0425

In many species, females are hypothesized to obtain ‘good genes’ for their offspring by mating with males in good condition. However, female preferences might deplete genetic variance and make choice redundant. Additionally, high-condition males some...
