Alternative life histories in the Atlantic salmon: genetic covariances within the sneaker sexual tactic in males.

Abstract excerpt

Alternative reproductive tactics are ubiquitous in many species. Tactic expression often depends on whether an individual's condition surpasses thresholds that are responsible for activating particular developmental pathways. Two central goals in understanding the evolution of reproductive tactics are quantifying the extent to which thresholds are explained by additive genetic effects, and describing their...
