Can phosphorus limitation contribute to the maintenance of sex? A test of a key assumption.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jun 2009

Neiman M, Theisen K M, Mayry M E, Kay A D

Abstract excerpt

Why sex is so common remains unclear; what is certain is that the predominance of sex despite its profound costs means that it must confer major advantages. Here, we use elemental and nucleic acid assays to evaluate a key element of a novel, integrative hypothesis considering whether sex might be...
