Phenotypic engineering unveils the function of genital morphology.

Current biology : CB - 4 Dec 2012

Hotzy Cosima, Polak Michal, Rönn Johanna L, Arnqvist Göran

Abstract excerpt

The rapidly evolving and often extraordinarily complex appearance of male genital morphology of internally fertilizing animals has been recognized for centuries. Postcopulatory sexual selection is regarded as the likely evolutionary engine of this diversity, but direct support for this hypothesis is limited. We used two complementary approaches, evolution through artificial selection and microscale laser surgery,...
