Sex-dependent selection differentially shapes genetic variation on and off the guppy Y chromosome.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Aug 2011

Postma Erik, Spyrou Nicolle, Rollins Lee Ann, Brooks Robert C

Abstract excerpt

Because selection is often sex-dependent, alleles can have positive effects on fitness in one sex and negative effects in the other, resulting in intralocus sexual conflict. Evolutionary theory predicts that intralocus sexual conflict can drive the evolution of sex limitation, sex-linkage, and sex chromosome differentiation. However, evidence that sex-dependent selection results in sex-linkage is limited. Here,...
