The mitonuclear compatibility hypothesis of sexual selection.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Oct 2013

Hill Geoffrey E, Johnson James D

Abstract excerpt

Why females assess ornaments when choosing mates remains a central question in evolutionary biology. We hypothesize that the imperative for a choosing female to find a mate with nuclear oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) genes that are compatible with her mitochondrial OXPHOS genes drives the evolution of ornaments. Indicator traits are proposed to signal the efficiency of OXPHOS function thus enabling females to...
