The intersexual genetic correlation for lifetime fitness in the wild and its implications for sexual selection

The genetic benefits of mate choice are limited by the degree to which male and female fitness are genetically correlated. If the intersexual correlation for fitness is small or negative, choosing a highly fit mate does not necessarily result in high fitness offspring. Using an animal-model approach...
