He argues that genes that raise the chances of an individual being same-sex attracted also massively raise the mating success of heterosexual bearers being reproductively successful.
Stable polymorphism in behavioural strategy is maintained because no behavioural type is able to win more matings than the other two types, and mating success of a morph follows a rock-scissors-paper dynamic.
Directly observe greater mating success of the red-eyed male.
To discover this, Kim compared the mating success of male dancing fiddler crabs in Panama with and without these hood-like structures.
The sensitivity analyses showed that the model is very sensitive to several biological parameters, especially to the mating success of the moth at low population density and the distribution of flight distances.
"Characteristics increasing the mating success of men are likely to evolve faster than those increasing the mating success of women," Courtiol said.
One unit was added to the mating success of all individuals before applying the log-transformation.
Mating success of diploid and of haploid males was comparable in our experiment (Table 2).
Context-dependent adjustment of mating tactics can drastically increase the mating success of behaviourally flexible animals.
Relative mating success of the two male ecotypes within each enclosure was statistically analyzed with contingency analysis.
These songs increase the mating success of the males by making the females motionless, which corresponds to the freezing response elicited by ultrasonic bat calls [7], [8].
