Sex ratio selection and multi-factorial sex determination in the housefly: a dynamic model.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 May 2006

Kozielska M, Pen I, Beukeboom L W, Weissing F J

Abstract excerpt

Sex determining (SD) mechanisms are highly variable between different taxonomic groups and appear to change relatively quickly during evolution. Sex ratio selection could be a dominant force causing such changes. We investigate theoretically the effect of sex ratio selection on the dynamics of a multi-factorial SD system. The system considered resembles the naturally occurring three-locus system of the housefly,...
