Table 1.
Summary of terms used in the three-locus population genetic model.
T2/T1 | Allele for male attractive display trait/allele for unattractive display trait; lowercase denotes the respective allele frequencies |
B2/B1 | Allele for the male autonomy-enhancing trait/allele for the lack of the autonomy-enhancing trait |
R2/R1 | Allele for female preference for visiting males with the autonomy-enhancing trait (B2 males)/Allele for visiting males randomly with respect to males’ alleles at the B locus |
s t | Viability cost to T2 males of producing an attractive display trait |
s b | Viability cost to B2 males of producing the autonomy-enhancing trait |
s r | Viability cost to R2 females of preferring males with the autonomy-enhancing trait (B2 males) |
u | Mutation bias parameter: percent of the frequency of the T2 allele that mutates to the T1 allele each generation after mating and recombination |
a t +1 | Factor by which all females prefer to mate with T2 males |
a b +1 | Factor by which R2 females prefer to visit males with the autonomy-enhancing trait (B2 males) |
c | Likelihood that a female gets coerced into mating without the opportunity to accept or reject a male based on his display upon visiting a male that lacks the autonomy-enhancing trait |
γ | Effectiveness of the protection from coercion conferred by the autonomy-enhancing trait in B2 males |
