本章研究了基因型-社会环境相互作用(gsei)对男性性特征进化的影响,更广泛地说,是性选择的作用。本文首先建立了一系列简单的定量遗传模型,以说明gsei对进化过程的重要性,以及当环境是非生物的,因此不包含基因时,它们与标准gei有何不同。本章简要概述了如何测量gsei,并讨论了在性选择背景下量化gsei的实证研究。最后,本研究为未来的研究提出了一些富有成效的途径,这些途径将刺激更多的研究来检验gsei在性选择中的重要性。
This chapter examines the consequences of genotype‐by‐social environment interactions (GSEIs) for the evolution of male sexual traits and, more generally, the operation of sexual selection. It starts by developing a series of simple quantitative genetic models to illustrate the importance of GSEIs to the evolutionary process and how they differ from standard GEIs when the environment is abiotic and therefore does not contain genes. The chapter provides a brief overview of how to measure GSEIs, as well as a discussion of empirical studies that have quantified GSEIs in the context of sexual selection. It concludes by suggesting some fruitful avenues for future research that will stimulate more studies to examine the importance of GSEIs in sexual selection.
