Selection on gamete recognition proteins depends on sex, density, and genotype frequency.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 14 Apr 2006

Levitan Don R, Ferrell David L

Abstract excerpt

Gamete recognition proteins can evolve at astonishing rates and lie at the heart of reproductive isolation and speciation in diverse taxa. However, the source of selection driving this evolution remains unknown. We report on how the sperm bindin genotype influences reproductive success under natu...
