Quantitative genetics and sex-specific selection on sexually dimorphic traits in bighorn sheep.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Mar 2008

Poissant Jocelyn, Wilson Alastair J, Festa-Bianchet Marco, Hogg John T, Coltman David W

Abstract excerpt

Sexual conflict at loci influencing traits shared between the sexes occurs when sex-specific selection pressures are antagonistic relative to the genetic correlation between the sexes. To assess whether there is sexual conflict over shared traits, we estimated heritability and intersexual genetic correlations for highly sexually dimorphic traits (horn volume and body mass) in a wild population of bighorn sheep...
