> If attractiveness is relative and based on the average for example, your contextual situation and "top bracket" corresponds to e.g. top 10%, than the group size doesn't change and the subpopulation with greater variability doesn't have an advantage. "The actual magnitudes of these desirability values are assumed to have no significance, and are used
only to make comparisons between individuals." (page 4) "To quantify the notion of “selective”, it will be assumed that for each sex in a given sexually dimorphic
species there is an upper proportion
p
∈
(0
,
1) of the opposite sex that is acceptable for mating." (also page 4) The paper applies exactly to the scenario where the top bracket corresponds e.g. to the top 10%. |
