Abstract excerpt
We combined traditional quantitative genetics and oligonucleotide microarrays to examine within-population genetic variation in a trait closely related to fitness. The trait, male reproductive success under competitive conditions (MCRS), is of central importance to both life-history and sexual-selection theory. We identified 27 candidate genes whose expression levels were associated with within-population...
