Genetic variation in a female genital trait evolved by sexual coevolution.

Genetica - 1 Oct 2011

Jiménez Ambriz Georgina, Mota Diana, Cordero Carlos

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the patterns of genetic variation of traits subject to sexual selection is fundamental for explaining its evolutionary dynamics and potential for sexual coevolution. The signa of female Lepidoptera are sclerotized structures located on the inner surface of the genital receptacle that receives the spermatophore during copulation (the corpus bursae), whose main function is tearing the spermatophore...
