Sexual antagonism for resistance and tolerance to infection in Drosophila melanogaster.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Aug 2014

Vincent Crystal M, Sharp Nathaniel P

Abstract excerpt

A critical task in evolutionary genetics is to explain the persistence of heritable variation in fitness-related traits such as immunity. Ecological factors can maintain genetic variation in immunity, but less is known about the role of other factors, such as antagonistic pleiotropy, on immunity. Sexually dimorphic immunity-with females often being more immune-competent-may maintain variation in immunity in...
