Condition-dependent sex and the rate of adaptation.

The American naturalist - 1 Jul 2009

Hadany Lilach, Otto Sarah P

Abstract excerpt

Recent modeling has shown that condition-dependent sex can evolve much more readily than sex that occurs at a uniform rate, even in the face of substantial costs of sex. Specifically, evolution favors genes that cause organisms to allocate more resources to sexual reproduction when they are in po...
