The evolution of sperm competition genes: The effect of mating system on levels of genetic variation within and between species.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Feb 2016

Dapper Amy L, Wade Michael J

Abstract excerpt

It is widely established that proteins involved in reproduction diverge between species more quickly than other proteins. For male sperm proteins, rapid divergence is believed to be caused by postcopulatory sexual selection and/or sexual conflict. Here, we derive the expected levels of gene diversity within populations and divergence between them for male sperm protein genes evolving by postcopulatory, prezygotic...
