Evolution of pleiotropic alleles for maturation and size as a consequence of predation.

Biology letters - 23 Apr 2008

Basolo Alexandra L

Abstract excerpt

Understanding life-history evolution requires knowledge about genetic interactions, physiological mechanisms and the nature of selection. For platyfish, Xiphophorus maculatus, extensive information is available about genetic and physiological mechanisms influencing life-history traits. In particular, alleles at the pituitary locus have large and antagonistic effects on age and size at sexual maturation. To...
