Genetic constraints and sexual dimorphism in immune defense.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Aug 2005

Rolff Jens, Armitage Sophie A O, Coltman David W

Abstract excerpt

The absence of continued evolutionary change despite the presence of genetic variation and directional selection is very common. Genetic correlations between traits can reduce the evolvability of traits. One intriguing example might be found in a sexual conflict over sexually dimorphic traits: a common genetic architecture constrains the response to selection on a trait subjected to sexually asymmetric selection...
