Does sex trade with violence among genotypes in Drosophila melanogaster?

PloS one - 16 Apr 2008

Cabral Larry G, Foley Brad R, Nuzhdin Sergey V

Abstract excerpt

The evolutionary forces shaping the ability to win competitive interactions, such as aggressive encounters, are still poorly understood. Given a fitness advantage for competitive success, variance in aggressive and sexual display traits should be depleted, but a great deal of variation in these traits is consistently found. While life history tradeoffs have been commonly cited as a mechanism for the maintenance...
