Habitat complexity drives experimental evolution of a conditionally expressed secondary sexual trait.

Current biology : CB - 12 Apr 2011

Tomkins Joseph L, Hazel Wade N, Penrose Marissa A, Radwan Jacek W, LeBas Natasha R

Abstract excerpt

The conditional expression of alternative phenotypes underlies the production of almost all life history decisions and many dichotomous traits, including male alternative reproductive morphs and behavioral tactics. Changes in tactic fitness should lead to evolutionary shifts in developmental switch points that underlie tactic expression. We used experimental evolution to directly test this hypothesis by rearing...
