Genetic Variation in the Use of Resources by Insects

Critically examines evidence of genetic variation in resource use by insects, including consideration of host-associated differences in fitness and genetic variation in preference. Implications of such evidence include the need to unders...

Good-genes effects in sexual selection

The magnitude of the effect of good genes as a viability benefit accruing to choosy females remains a controversial theoretical and empirical issue. We col...
