Experimental evidence that extra-pair mating drives asymmetrical introgression of a sexual trait.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Nov 2013

Baldassarre Daniel T, Webster Michael S

Abstract excerpt

Theory suggests that traits under positive selection may introgress asymmetrically across a hybrid zone, potentially driven by sexual selection. Two subspecies of the red-backed fairy-wren (Malurus melanocephalus) differ primarily in a sexual signal used in mate choice-red versus orange male back plumage colour-but phylogeographic analyses suggest asymmetrical introgression of red plumage into the genetic...
