Question: Is sexual signalling (courtship call rate) determined by physiological fitness
(energy metabolism at rest), endurance during physically demanding activity, an aspect of
immune defence (lytic activity) or body mass?
Organism: Pedigree laboratory population of decorated crickets (Gryllodes sigillatus).
Methods: Behavioural trial of male courtship call rate and measurements of males’
physiological performance. Covariance analysis exploring the determinants of courtship
call rate.
Results: We found that endurance was strongly positively associated with the courtship call
rate. However, neither the lytic activity nor the resting metabolic rate correlated with courtship
call rate. Together with body mass and family effects, endurance explained over 77% of the
variance in courtship call rate. Hence, only physically fit individuals can perform sexual displays
well.

Genome‐phenotype‐environment associations identify signatures of selection in a panmictic population of threespine stickleback
Strickland, K.; Räsänen, K.; Kristjánsson, B. K.; Phillips, J. S.; Einarsson, A.; Snorradóttir, R. G.; Bartrons, M.; Jónsson, Z. O. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2023)Adaptive genetic divergence occurs when selection imposed by the environment causes the genomic component of the phenotype to differentiate. However, genomic signatures of natural selection are usually identified without ... -

Sexual selection on song and cuticular hydrocarbons in two distinct populations of Drosophila montana
Veltsos, Paris; Wicker-Thomas, Claude; Butlin, Roger; Hoikkala, Anneli; Ritchie, Michael (Wiley-Blackwell, 2012)Sexual selection has the potential to contribute to population divergence and speciation. Most studies of sexual selection in Drosophila have concentrated on a single signaling modality, usually either courtship song or ... -
