Y-linked Mendelian inheritance of giant and dwarf male morphs in shell-brooding cichlids.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Nov 2014

Wirtz Ocana Sabine, Meidl Patrick, Bonfils Danielle, Taborsky Michael

Abstract excerpt

Behavioural variation among conspecifics is typically contingent on individual state or environmental conditions. Sex-specific genetic polymorphisms are enigmatic because they lack conditionality, and genes causing adaptive trait variation in one sex may reduce Darwinian fitness in the other. One way to avoid such genetic antagonism is to control sex-specific traits by inheritance via sex chromosomes. Here,...
