Abstract excerpt

Antagonistically selected alleles--those with opposing fitness effects between sexes, environments, or fitness components--represent an important component of additive genetic variance in fitness-related traits, with stably balanced polymorphisms often hypothesized to contribute to observed quantitative genetic variation. Balancing selection hypotheses imply that intermediate-frequency alleles disproportionately...
