• Sneaking from a female perspective (2007, background): “In contrast, offspring mortality arising from developmental problems was related to specific maleefemale combinations, suggesting partial incompatibilities between parental haplotypes ( Wedekind et al. 2001, see below).”
• Genetic quality and offspring performance in Chinook salmon: implications for supportive breeding (2007, background): “Two other studies of fishes have also found that the variance captured by genetic and environmental effects for survivorship exceeds 100% (Wedekind et al. 2001; Rudolfsen et al. 2005).”
• The Evolution of Polyandry: Sperm Competition, Sperm Selection, and Offspring Viability (2005, background): “Females of a number of vertebrate species ranging from mice (Yamazaki et al. 1976) to humans (Wedekind et al. 1995) have been shown to prefer potential mating partners whose MHC haplotype would result in the production of MHC heterozygous offspring that are resistant to parasites (Penn et al. 2002).”
• Genetic quality and sexual selection: an integrated framework for good genes and compatible genes (2004, background): “Interestingly, only the late phase of mortality was correlated with the size of the sires’ breeding tubercles, a sexually selected character (Wedekind et al. 2001), and good gene effects were about 11-fold higher for late mortality than early mortality.”
• Maternal and seasonal differences in egg sizes and spawning activity of northwest Atlantic haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) in relation to body size and condition (2004, background): “nity (Trippel and Morgan 1994; Wedekind et al. 2001) and male–female interactions (Saillant et al.”
• Sexual Selection and Life‐History Decisions: Implications for Supportive Breeding and the Management of Captive Populations (2002, background): “Wedekind et al. (2001) found in one of these populations that parents differ in their heritable viability: the resistance of the eggs to a virulent egg parasite is strongly influenced by maternal and paternal effects.”
• Mate Choice and Genetic Quality: A Review of the Heterozygosity Theory (2007, background): “Clearly, much more work is needed, ideally on systems where the costs of inbreeding (or the benefits of heterozygosity) and the ‘‘good allele’’ benefits can be quantified (see e.g., Oh and Badyaev, 2006; Wedekind et al., 2001).”
