Evolution: good males are bad females.

Current biology : CB - 6 Mar 2007

Price T A R, Hosken D J

Abstract excerpt

Manipulation of Drosophila melanogaster genomes allows large numbers of genes to be transmitted solely through males, thereby allowing selection to optimize flies for male function alone. It seems biasing phenotypes toward the male optima has serious fitness costs for females.
