Dedication; Title Page; Copyright; List of Contributors; Preface; About the Companion Website; Part I: Introduction and Theoretical Concepts; Chapter 1: Genotype-by-Environment Interactions and Sexual Selection: Female Choice in a Complex World; 1.1 Introduction; 1.2 Classical female choice; 1.3 The instability of "good genes" when male quality is a complex trait; 1.4 Discussion; Acknowledgments; References; Chapter 2: GEIs when Information Transfer is Uncertain or Incomplete; 2.1 Introduction; 2.2 Lewontin's "very annoying conclusions"; 2.3 Ignorance, uncertainty, and information 2.4 Information and fitness2.5 Bayesian Statistical Decision Theory; 2.6 Discrimination and selection: the signal detection perspective; 2.7 Search, discrimination, and mate choice by female pied flycatchers; 2.8 Optimal search and the marginal value of additional information; 2.9 Biological signaling theory; 2.10 GEIs in condition, signals, and preferences; 2.11 Conclusions; References; Chapter 3: Local Adaptation and the Evolution of Female Choice; 3.1 Introduction; 3.2 The Jekyll and Hyde nature of GEIs; 3.3 The model; 3.4 Less local adaptation, more female choice!; 3.5 Can we generalize? 3.6 GEIs often maintain costly choice in a suitably variable world3.7 Insights from the model; 3.8 Prospects for empirical work; 3.9 Prospects for theoretical work; 3.10 Conclusions; References; Chapter 4: Genotype-by-Environment Interactions when the Social Environment Contains Genes; 4.1 Introduction; 4.2 Modeling genotype-by-social environment interactions; 4.3 Measuring genotype by social environment interactions; 4.4 Empirical evidence for genotype by social environment interactions; 4.5 Future directions; Acknowledgments; References; Part II: Practical Issues for Measuring GEIs Chapter 5: Quantifying Genotype-by-Environment Interactions in Laboratory Systems5.1 Introduction; 5.2 Two perspectives on phenotypic plasticity; 5.3 Breeding designs to detect and estimate G × E; 5.4 Statistical methodologies; 5.5 Worked examples; 5.6 Recommendations; Acknowledgments; References; Chapter 6: Influence of the Environment on the Genetic Architecture of Traits Involved in Sexual Selection within Wild Populations; 6.1 Introduction; 6.2 Application of sexual selection theory to wild populations; 6.3 Methods for examining GEI in wild populations 6.4 Worked examples of the analysis methods6.5 Summary; References; Chapter 7: From Genotype × Environment to Transcriptome × Environment: Identifying and Understanding Environmental Influences in the Gene Expression Underlying Sexually Selected Traits; 7.1 Introduction; 7.2 Gene expression variation allows a static genome to respond to varying environments; 7.3 From GEIs to TEIs in sexually selected traits; 7.4 Can we safely ignore the genomic basis of phenotypes?; 7.5 The first step is identifying the transcriptomic basis of sexually selected traits
Sexual selection is recognized as being responsible for some of the most extravagant morphologies and behaviors in the natural world, as well as a driver of some of the most rapid evolution. While Charles Darwin's theory is now a fundamental component of modern evolutionary biology, the impact of genotype-by-environment interactions on sexual selection has thus far received little attention. This book represents the first comprehensive analysis of the role genotype-by-environment interactions play in sexual selection and the potential implications that they have for the evolutionary process.
