Parents' genetic dissimilarity and offspring sex in a polygynous mammal.

Molecular ecology - 1 Dec 2009

Carranza J, Pérez-González J, Mateos C, Fernández-García J L

Abstract excerpt

Offspring quality may benefit from genetic dissimilarity between parents. However, genetic dissimilarity may trade-off with additive genetic benefits. We hypothesized that when sexual selection produces sex-specific selective scenarios, the relative benefits of additive genetic vs. dissimilarity may differ for sons and daughters. Here we study a sample of 666 red deer (Cervus elaphus) microsatellite genotypes,...
