Abstract excerpt
How loss of genetic exchanges (recombination) evolves between sex chromosomes is a long-standing question. Suppressed recombination may evolve when a sexually antagonistic (SA) polymorphism occurs in a partially sex-linked 'pseudoautosomal' region (or 'PAR'), maintaining allele frequency differences between the two sexes, and creating selection for closer linkage with the fully sex-linked region of the Y...
