Mating:

mating system - groups sexual behavior

Polygyny - male with multiple females

Polyandry - female with multiple males

Promiscuity - mating without exclusivity

-Mate Choice/intersexual selection - selection of a mate based upon attraction

--Sensory bias - development of a trait to match a preexisting preference in the population; fiddler crab builds structure

--Fisherian selection - trait that has no benefit but runsaway

--indicator trait - signifies good health; don't have to be genetic

--genetic compatibility - good mate pairing

--phenotypic benefits - observable traits that make the organism more attractive

Mate bias - choosiness

Direct Benefit - better support to mate

Indirect Benefit - better survival to offspring
