最近关于性选择和性冲突的研究探讨了间接影响对雌性交配行为进化的影响。有人认为，这些影响的重要性被低估了，间接影响的影响实际上可能比直接影响更为重要。此外，也有人认为，所有的间接影响，无论是好的基因和性感的儿子，都是定性的。在这里，提出了与这些建议相对应的观点。我们主要论证两点：（1）间接影响一般不太可能超过直接影响，（2）必须认识到，好基因和性感儿子间接影响之间存在重要差异。我们认为，承认这些区别将导致更多的了解过程中的性冲突和性选择。
Recent work on sexual selection and sexual conflict has explored the influence of indirect effects on the evolution of female mating behaviour. It has been suggested that the importance of these effects has been underestimated and that the influence of indirect effects may actually be of relatively greater significance than direct effects. Additionally, it has also been suggested that all indirect effects, both good genes and sexy son, are qualitatively equivalent. Here a counterpoint to these suggestions is offered. We argue two main points: (1) it is unlikely that indirect effects will commonly outweigh direct effects, and (2) that there are important differences between good genes and sexy son indirect effects that must be recognized. We suggest that acknowledgement of these distinctions will lead to increased understanding of processes operating in both sexual conflict and sexual selection.
