Figure 1. Effect of mate choice on the distribution of female fitness in species with antagonistic persistence.

Figure 1

When males direct their antagonistic persistence more towards higher-fitness females, the tails of the female fitness distribution are predicted to regress towards the mean (dotted line and shaded distribution) compared to the case where male persistence is randomly applied to all females in the population (solid line and open distribution).
