Evolution: Sex Limits Adaptation.

Current biology : CB - 20 Jul 2015

Nosil Patrik

Abstract excerpt

Evolution is affected by survival of individuals and by mate choice, but how sexual selection affects adaptation remains unclear. A new study finds that sexual selection can limit adaptation by causing male-induced harm to females and thus opposing natural selection.
