Life history and the male mutation bias.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Oct 2003

Abstract excerpt

If DNA replication is a major cause of mutation, then those life-history characters, which are expected to affect the number of male germline cell divisions, should also affect the male to female mutation bias (alpha(m)). We tested this hypothesis by comparing several clades of bird species, which show variation both in suitable life-history characters (generation time as measured by age at first breeding and...
