The effect of parasites on sex differences in selection.

Heredity - 1 Apr 2015

Sharp N P, Vincent C M

Abstract excerpt

The life history strategies of males and females are often divergent, creating the potential for sex differences in selection. Deleterious mutations may be subject to stronger selection in males, owing to sexual selection, which can improve the mean fitness of females and reduce mutation load in...
