“…This suggests that female preference for multiple male traits may not necessarily be based on genetically independent preferences for each male trait. This result contrasts with the finding in guppies, in which preference for orange and black coloration responded to selection as independent traits (Brooks and Couldridge 1999). Further studies on visual, acoustic, and other chemical signaling systems will be required to determine whether the genetic basis of preference for multiple male traits is typically highly correlated (as in this study) or independent (Brooks and Couldridge 1999) and whether the extent of preference function covariation is related to the sensory system involved.…”

Second, variation in female preference functions within populations may be one mechanism that maintains genetic variance in the male traits under sexual selection (Kokko 1997;Brooks and Endler 2001b).…”

“…These mechanisms may work either alone or in combination in the evolution of sexual signals. Preferences for multiple signals may arise through a single preference selecting for multiple signals or, alternatively, through multiple preferences each coevolving with a signal (Brooks & Couldridge, 1999). Recently, a new model was proposed by Holland & Rice(1998),theantagonisticchase-awayselection,which proposes that resistance instead of preference can select for exaggerated display traits and generate mating biases.…”

“…For example, in species with both carotenoid (red, yellow, orange) and melanin (black, brown)-based ornaments, it appears that females often choose males based on the expression of carotenoid-based, rather than melanin-based, ornaments (Johnson et al 1993, Brooks and Couldridge 1999, Badyaev and Hill 2000, Jawor and Breitwisch 2003. This pattern is predicted because ornaments produced from carotenoid pigments are generally thought to be better indicators of male quality (condition or health) than ornaments produced from melanin pigments (Hill andBrawner 1998, Badyaev andHill 2000).…”
