Evolutionary biology

	Evolutionary biology portal This article is part of WikiProject Evolutionary biology, an attempt at building a useful set of articles on evolutionary biology and its associated subfields such as population genetics, quantitative genetics, molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and evolutionary developmental biology. It is distinct from the WikiProject Tree of Life in that it attempts to cover patterns, process and theory rather than systematics and taxonomy.

Article's subtle focus

This article's subtle focus on what females prefer is rather vague. I suggest to drop all these vague terms (e.g. strategies) and focus primary on biological features that are decisive for female choice to initiate an engagement: phenotypic traits or appearance. The rest can be added later.

I also suggest to make definition of "good genes" more concrete: females decide what genes are good and what genes are bad. Not otherwise. There is no other "chooser". AXONOV (talk) ⚑ 08:13, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
