TL;DR: It is quantitatively estimate that the directional selection exerted by Hv males on Hs females to produce relatively high amounts of acetates can range from 0.135 to 0.231, which may counteract intraspecific stabilizing selection that impedes evolutionary changes in pheromone blends and could lead to diversification of sexual signals.
