Evolution of sexual asymmetry.

BMC evolutionary biology - 21 Sept 2004

Czárán Tamás L, Hoekstra Rolf F

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The clear dominance of two-gender sex in recent species is a notorious puzzle of evolutionary theory. It has at least two layers: besides the most fundamental and challenging question why sex exists at all, the other part of the problem is equally perplexing but much less studied. Why do most sexual organisms use a binary mating system? Even if sex confers an evolutionary advantage (through whatever...
