Frequency-dependent selection acting on the widely fluctuating sex ratio of the aphid Prociphilus oriens.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jul 2017

Li Y, Akimoto S

Abstract excerpt

Frequency-dependent selection is a fundamental principle of adaptive sex ratio evolution in all sex ratio theories but has rarely been detected in the wild. Through long-term censuses, we confirmed large fluctuations in the population sex ratio of the aphid Prociphilus oriens and detected frequency-dependent selection acting on these fluctuations. Fluctuations in the population sex ratio were partly attributable...
