Gametic conflict versus contact in the evolution of anisogamy.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Jun 2008

Iyer Priya, Roughgarden Joan

Abstract excerpt

Anisogamy refers to gametes that differ in size, and characterizes the difference between males and females. The evolution of aniosgamy is widely interpreted as involving conflict between gamete producers with small sperm parasitizing on the investment made by the eggs. Using a population genetic model for evolution at a locus that codes jointly for sperm and egg sizes of a hermaphrodite, we show that the origin...
