Keyword(s):
Females choose mating partners for three main reasons: direct benefits, indirect benefits, and compatibility, either genetic or social.

This will highlight what studies are needed to reach a more complete picture of sexual selection. I would summarize the chapter like this: it’s the ecology, stupid.
