“…To date, the processes of sexual selection have been predominantly studied within vertebrate and insect mating systems (West-Eberhard, 1983;Andersson & Simmons, 2006). Within these animal models, anisogamy, which is the differential investment between males and females towards their gametes, leads to the reproductive success of most females of these taxa to be limited by the resources they have access to, and male reproductive success to be primarily limited by the numbers of females they can successfully mate with (Kodric-Brown & Brown, 1987).…”

“…Sexual selection for improved mating and fertilization success is generally considered the cause of the evolution and maintenance of male ornaments expressed during reproduction [1,2]. However, an alternative possibility, which has received surprisingly little attention (but see [3,4]), is that male ornaments evolve through social competition for offspring survival.…”

“…There is no paternal care in salmonid fishes. Body size is the male trait directly preferred by females (Andersson & Simmons 2006); the mechanism suggested by which a cryptic female choice for male's genetic quality is exerted in externally fertilising fish is through ovarian fluid that facilitates sperm function in the Arctic charr (Turner and Montgomerie 2002) and in the Atlantic cod (Litvak and Trippel 1998). The effect of ovarian fluid on sperm performance depends on the physiological compatibility between male and female partners (Rosengrave et al 2008).…”
