Table 1.
Summary of definitions of terms used in the four-locus population genetic model.
| T2 / T1 ; t1 / t2 | Allele for attractive display trait / allele for unattractive display trait, expressed by males; lowercase denotes the respective allele frequencies |
| C2 / C1 ; c2 / c1 | Allele for the capacity to attempt forced fertilization (coercion) / Allele for the lack of capacity to coerce, expressed by males; the respective allele frequencies |
| P2 / P1 ; p2 / p1 | Allele for a biased behavioral mating preference for males with the T2 allele by a factor (1+a) / Allele for unbiased mating, expressed by females; the respective allele frequencies |
| R2 / R1 ; r2 / r1 | Allele for the capacity to resist attempted forced fertilization / Allele for the lack of capacity to resist attempted forced fertilization, expressed by females; the respective allele frequencies |
| st | Viability cost to males with the T2 allele of producing an attractive display trait |
| sc | Viability cost to males with the C2 allele associated with the capacity to coerce females |
| 1+a | Factor by which females with the P2 allele prefer to mate with males having the T2 allele |
| b | Likelihood of a male with the C2 allele to succeed in forced fertilization of a female that lacks resistance (has the R1 allele) |
| γ | Effectiveness of the capacity to resist attempted forced fertilization in females having the R2 allele. |
