Sexual conflict maintains variation at an insecticide resistance locus.

BMC biology - 29 Jun 2015

Rostant Wayne G, Kay Caroline, Wedell Nina, Hosken David J

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The maintenance of genetic variation through sexually antagonistic selection is controversial, partly because specific sexually-antagonistic alleles have not been identified. The Drosophila DDT resistance allele (DDT-R) is an exception. This allele increases female fitness, but simultaneously decreases male fitness, and it has been suggested that this sexual antagonism could explain why polymorphism...
