The evolution and consequences of sex-specific reproductive variance.

Genetics - 1 Jan 2014

Mullon Charles, Reuter Max, Lehmann Laurent

Abstract excerpt

Natural selection favors alleles that increase the number of offspring produced by their carriers. But in a world that is inherently uncertain within generations, selection also favors alleles that reduce the variance in the number of offspring produced. If previous studies have established this principle, they have largely ignored fundamental aspects of sexual reproduction and therefore how selection on...
