Sexually antagonistic coevolution in insects is associated with only limited morphological diversity.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 May 2006

Eberhard W

Abstract excerpt

Morphological traits involved in male-female sexual interactions, such as male genitalia, often show rapid divergent evolution. This widespread evolutionary pattern could result from sustained sexually antagonistic coevolution, or from other types of selection such as female choice or selection f...
