Female choice response to artificial selection on an exaggerated male trait in a stalk-eyed fly

Quantitative genetic models for the evolution of exaggerated male traits through female mate choice predict that selection on male ornaments should cause a correlated response in female preferences. Furthermore, female selectivity should be inversely related to costs of mate choice. Here we use a stalkeyed fly Cyrtodiopsis dalmanni (Diptera:Diopsidae), which exhibits pronounced sexual dimorphism in eye span, to evaluate these predictions. Field observations reveal that each evening females… CONTINUE READING
