Genetic correlations do not constrain the evolution of sexual dimorphism in the moss Ceratodon purpureus.

Abstract excerpt

The trajectory of phenotypic evolution is constrained in the short term by genetic correlations among traits. However, the extent to which genetic correlations impose a lasting constraint is generally unknown. Here, I examine the genetic architecture of life-history variation in male and female gametophytes from two populations of the moss Ceratodon purpureus, focusing on genetic correlations within and between...
