Sex chromosomes and male ornaments: a comparative evaluation in ray-finned fishes.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Jan 2006

Mank Judith E, Hall David W, Kirkpatrick Mark, Avise John C

Abstract excerpt

Theory predicts that the mechanism of genetic sex determination can substantially influence the evolution of sexually selected traits. For example, female heterogamety (ZZ/ZW) can favour the evolution of extreme male traits under Fisher's runaway model of sexual selection. We empirically test whether the genetic system of sex determination has played a role in the evolution of exaggerated male ornaments in...
