The evolution of genetic and conditional alternative reproductive tactics.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 24 Feb 2016

Engqvist Leif, Taborsky Michael

Abstract excerpt

Frequency-dependent selection may drive adaptive diversification within species. It is yet unclear why the occurrence of alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs) is highly divergent between major animal taxa. Here we aim to clarify the environmental and social conditions favouring the evolution of intra-population variance of male reproductive phenotypes. Our results suggest that genetically determined ARTs that...
