Genetic differences among populations in sexual dimorphism: evidence for selection on males in a dioecious plant.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 May 2011

Yu Q, Ellen E D, Wade M J, Delph L F

Abstract excerpt

Genetic variation among populations in the degree of sexual dimorphism may be a consequence of selection on one or both sexes. We analysed genetic parameters from crosses involving three populations of the dioecious plant Silene latifolia, which exhibits sexual dimorphism in flower size, to determine whether population differentiation was a result of selection on one or both sexes. We took the novel approach of...
