A test of genetic models for the evolutionary maintenance of same-sex sexual behaviour.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Jun 2015

Hoskins Jessica L, Ritchie Michael G, Bailey Nathan W

Abstract excerpt

The evolutionary maintenance of same-sex sexual behaviour (SSB) has received increasing attention because it is perceived to be an evolutionary paradox. The genetic basis of SSB is almost wholly unknown in non-human animals, though this is key to understanding its persistence. Recent theoretical work has yielded broadly applicable predictions centred on two genetic models for SSB: overdominance and sexual...
