Dear Prof. Balakrishnan

There are various theories for mate selection,
Sometimes it is not evident,
Which one might be true.

I was thinking one way to look into the matter
Could be to measure the distribution
Of the trait in question.

I think that it might be possible, just.
The distribution resulting
From different possible methods,
Would be different.

Particularly, I would expect in the case
Of the Fischerian Runaway model,
It would be quite distinctly
Skewed.

I want to test my hypothesis.

But first,
I need to verify
That trait evolution
Under different models
Does indeed give rise
To different distributions.

However, I am stuck.
I can not as yet construct
A complete model,
Due to my limited
Knowledge.

I need Help.

Yours sincerely,
Sophius Dynami
