Constrained evolution of the sex comb in Drosophila simulans.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Feb 2017

Abstract excerpt

Male fitness is dependent on sexual traits that influence mate acquisition (precopulatory sexual selection) and paternity (post-copulatory sexual selection), and although many studies have documented the form of selection in one or the other of these arenas, fewer have done it for both. Nonetheless, it appears that the dominant form of sexual selection is directional, although theoretically, populations should...
