A meeting

Discussed the problems in relation to choosiness values and how this translates into how likely the female is to be choosy.

Also this some notes i made

Neff, B.D. and Pitcher, T.E., 2005, Genetic quality and sexual selection: an integrated framework for good genes and compatible genes.

Not many notes on this.

A good review table of examples of increased fecundity due to multiple matings, the assumption being that multiple matings allows better genetic matching between sperm and eggs. In effect this is saying there is not as much need for mate selection. Males are selected by the process of fertilisation. The more compatible they are the more eggs they fertilise.
