Male-biased mutation, sex linkage, and the rate of adaptive evolution.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Feb 2004

Kirkpatrick Mark, Hall David W

Abstract excerpt

An interaction between sex-linked inheritance and sex-biased mutation rates may affect the rate of adaptive evolution. Males have much higher mutation rates than females in several vertebrate and plant taxa. When evolutionary rates are limited by the supply of favorable new mutations, then genes...
