Has the inbreeding load for a condition-dependent sexual signalling trait been purged in insular lizard populations?

Molecular ecology - 1 Mar 2013

Runemark Anna, Hansson Bengt, Ljungqvist Marcus, Brydegaard Mikkel, Svensson Erik I

Abstract excerpt

Sexually selected traits are often condition-dependent and are expected to be affected by genome-wide distributed deleterious mutations and inbreeding. However, sexual selection is a powerful selective force that can counteract inbreeding through purging of deleterious mutations. Inbreeding and purging of the inbreeding load for sexually selected traits has rarely been studied across natural populations with...
