Sexual Selection and the Adaptive Evolution of Mammalian Ejaculate Proteins

13 Nov 2007

Abstract excerpt

An elevated rate of substitution characterizes the molecular evolution of reproductive proteins from a wide range of taxa. Although the selective pressures explaining this rapid evolution are yet to be resolved, recent evidence implicates sexual selection as a potentially important explanatory factor. To investigate this hypothesis, we sought evidence of a high rate of adaptive gene evolution linked to...
