Natural selection and genetic variation for female resistance to harm from males.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 May 2005

Linder J E, Rice W R

Abstract excerpt

The sexual conflict hypothesis predicts that males evolve traits that exploit the higher parental investment of females, which generates selection for females to counter-evolve resistance. In Drosophila melanogaster it is now established that males harm females and that there is genetic variation among males for the degree of this harm. Genetic variation among females for resistance to harm from males, and the...
