Male-biased fitness effects of spontaneous mutations in Drosophila melanogaster.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Apr 2013

Sharp Nathaniel P, Agrawal Aneil F

Abstract excerpt

In populations with males and females, sexual selection may often represent a major component of overall selection. Sexual selection could act to eliminate deleterious alleles in concert with other forms of selection, thereby improving the fitness of sexual populations. Alternatively, the divergent reproductive strategies of the sexes could promote the maintenance of sexually antagonistic variation, causing...
