Abstract
This chapter discusses the use and potential of inbreeding as a means to study genotype by environment interactions (GEIs). Fundamental to studying sexual trait GEIs is its ability to define, measure, and manipulate both the environmental and genetic states of individuals. It first reviews how inbreeding can be used to study the GEIs of sexual traits. The chapter then considers relevant empirical work that has used inbreeding to determine the extent to which sexual traits suffer from genetic stress, and ask whether evidence from inbreeding studies supports the hypothesis that the degree of genetic condition dependence is more marked in sexual traits. Finally, it relates these findings to the potential for using inbreeding to evaluate GEIs in sexual traits. The chapter reviews points to the need to take account of environmental variation when assessing genetic variation.
