Pleiotropy, constraint, and modularity in the evolution of life histories: insights from genomic analyses.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences - 1 Feb 2017

Hughes Kimberly A, Leips Jeff

Abstract excerpt

Multicellular organisms display an enormous range of life history (LH) strategies and present an evolutionary conundrum; despite strong natural selection, LH traits are characterized by high levels of genetic variation. To understand the evolution of life histories and maintenance of this variation, the specific phenotypic effects of segregating alleles and the genetic networks in which they act need to be...
