Abstract

Wedell and Kemp ([2024]. Examined the importance of female sexual preferences for male UV reflectance on offspring viability and the evolution of male traits in the butterfly Eurema hecabe. Female preferences were found to have multiple consequences, including increased trait value, higher offspring viability, and reduced mutational load. These findings highlight that female sexual preferences for specific male traits can also have further consequences for individual fitness and evolution of specific morphological characteristics.

摘要性选择性状会影响蝴蝶物种的个体适应性和性状进化。

Wedell 和 Kemp（2024 年）研究了蝴蝶 Eurema hecabe 中雌性对雄性紫外线反射率的偏好对后代生存能力和雄性性状进化的重要性。研究发现雌性偏好会产生多种结果，包括增加性状价值、提高后代生存能力和减少突变负荷。这些发现突出表明，雌性对雄性特定性状的偏好也会对个体适应性和特定形态特征的进化产生进一步的影响。
