This project explores the relationship between sexual selection and the spread of infectious diseases using Trinidadian guppies. It investigates how mate preferences influence parasite transmission and the potential for offspring to inherit increased resistance to parasites, aiming to refine epidemic models based on th…
Sexual selection has two intuitive but overlooked implications for epidemics.
First, infectious diseases spread when individuals contact each other.
Reproduction is a major driver of contact: mate preferences should affect who contacts whom, and thus parasite transmission opportunity.
Sexual selection research shows that choosers prefer mates with high quality ornaments, which generally indicate parasite resistance, but the predicted epidemiological consequence of such contact with more resistan…
