Anadromy and residency in steelhead and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss): a review of the processes and patterns (2015, neutral): “For example, females may prefer to spawn with larger males and larger males with larger females (Fleming 1996; Neff and Pitcher 2005; Rosengrave et al. 2008), which could reduce interactions between the two life histories.”
Age, musth and paternity success in wild male African elephants, Loxodonta africana (2007, background): “Finally, although females in general appear to prefer large musth males, female preferences may be idiosyncratic to some extent, possibly reflecting preferences for males with whom they are particularly compatible regardless of age or size (see review in Neff & Pitcher 2005 ).”
Mate Choice and Genetic Quality: A Review of the Heterozygosity Theory (2007, background): “Most empirical and review papers discuss genetic benefits of mate choice by contrasting ‘‘good genes’’ and ‘‘compatible genes’’ (see reviews by Jennions and Petrie, 2000; Mays and Hill, 2004; Neff and Pitcher, 2005; see also Puurtinen et al., 2005).”
Sex role preferences, gender conflict and sperm trading in simultaneous hermaphrodites : a new framework (2006, background): “Indirect genetic benefits may compensate for direct costs, but some recent evidence in gonochorists suggests that indirect benefits are often minute and insufficient to compensate for direct costs (reviewed in Arnqvist & Nilsson 2000; Jennions & Petrie 2000; Chapman et al. 2003; Cordero & Eberhard 2”
Genetic quality and offspring performance in Chinook salmon: implications for supportive breeding (2007, background): “Genetic quality consists of two components comprising the independent effects of parental genotypes (additive genetic effects) and the interaction between parental genotypes (non-additive genetic effects) (reviewed in Neff and Pitcher 2005).”
Sneaking from a female perspective (2007, background): “Although the spermeegg compatibility hypothesis has been proposed for viviparous females with internal fertilization (Zeh & Zeh 1997), it may equally apply to externally fertilizing species (Neff & Pitcher 2005).”
Sexual colouration and sperm traits in guppies (2007, background): “This hypothesis has been of interest recently (Skarstein & Folstad, 1996; Liljedal et al., 1999; Peters et al., 2004; Pizzari et al., 2004; Malo et al., 2005b) because it offers one explanation, based on direct rather than indirect selection ( Neff & Pitcher, 2005 ), for the maintenance of female pr”
Genetic similarity of social mates predicts the level of extrapair paternity in splendid fairy-wrens (2005, background): “Recently, investigators have begun to consider whether good genes and compatibility processes may operate simultaneously (Colegrave et al. 2002; Roberts & Gosling 2003; Mays & Hill 2004; Neff & Pitcher 2005).”
Sexual coercion by male chimpanzees shows that female choice may be more apparent than real (2011, background): “200 If female mate choice is directed toward maximizing genetic quality, then 201 predictions differ depending on whether females are choosing males with “good genes” 202 or males with “compatible genes” (Mays & Hill 2004, Neff & Pitcher 2005).”
Disgust: evolved function and structure. (2013, background): “Here we discuss two main dimensions that contribute to the opportunity costs involved in selecting one sexual partner over another: genetic compatibility and mate quality (Jennions & Petrie, 2000; Neff & Pitcher, 2005; Zeh & Zeh, 1996).”
A mechanism for cryptic female choice in chinook salmon (2008, background): “Eberhard 1996). It has recently been suggested that CFC may be widespread when females rely on sperm selection to increase the genetic quality of their offspring ( Jennions and Petrie 2000; Neff and Pitcher 2005 ).”
Studying personality variation in invertebrates: why bother? (2014, background): “This means benefits of female choice should be restricted to good and/or compatible genes that improve offspring fitness (Andersson, 1994; Bateson, 1983; Kokko, Brooks, Jennions, & Morley, 2003; Neff & Pitcher, 2005).”
Extra-pair paternity in birds: review of the genetic benefits (2007, background): “Two types of genetic benefits are commonly considered: one that is additive and one that is non-additive, referred to as the ‘good genes hypothesis’ and ‘compatible genes hypothesis’, respectively (Neff and Pitcher, 2005).”
Female infidelity and genetic compatibility in birds: the role of the genetically loaded raffle in understanding the function of extrapair paternity (2009, background): “(1) The GLR may help to explain the apparent lack of clear and consistent relationships between EPP and male phenotypic variation because genetic compatibility, being largely non-additive, is unlikely to be expressed in morphological or behavioural traits ( Neff and Pitcher 2005 ).”
