Fitness variation due to sexual antagonism and linkage disequilibrium.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Dec 2010

Patten Manus M, Haig David, Ubeda Francisco

Abstract excerpt

Extensive fitness variation for sexually antagonistic characters has been detected in nature. However, current population genetic theory suggests that sexual antagonism is unlikely to play a major role in the maintenance of variation. We present a two-locus model of sexual antagonism that is capable of explaining greater fitness variance at equilibrium than previous single-locus models. The second genetic locus...
