Sexual selection is ineffectual or inhibits the purging of deleterious mutations in Drosophila melanogaster.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jul 2012

Arbuthnott Devin, Rundle Howard D

Abstract excerpt

The effects of sexual selection on population mean fitness are unclear and a subject of debate. Recent models propose that, because reproductive success may be condition dependent, much of the genome may be a target of sexual selection. Under this scenario, mutations that reduce health, and thus nonsexual fitness, may also be deleterious with respect to reproductive success, meaning that sexual selection may...
