Putting sexual selection in a life-history context: What is meant by genetic quality? Theories of sexual signalling have been developed largely without reference to life-history theory and quantitative genetics. We will test recent theory that shows the costs of signals are best measured in units of future survival and reproduction. In a series of field and laboratory experiments on the cricket Teleogryllus commodus, we will test the idea that the "male genetic quality" referred to by good-genes models of sexual selection is quality in the general ability to acquire resources, rather than in how resources are allocated among fitness components.

将性选择置于生活史背景中：遗传质量意味着什么？性信号理论的发展在很大程度上没有参考生活史理论和数量遗传学。我们将测试最近的理论，该理论表明信号的成本最好用未来生存和繁殖的单位来衡量。在一系列的实地和实验室实验的蟋蟀Teleogryllus commodus，我们将测试的想法，“男性的遗传质量”所指的好基因模型的性选择是质量的一般能力，以获得资源，而不是在如何分配资源之间的健身组件。
