Sex-specific evolution during the diversification of live-bearing fishes.

Nature ecology & evolution - 1 Aug 2017

Culumber Zachary W, Tobler Michael

Abstract excerpt

Natural selection is often assumed to drive parallel functional diversification of the sexes. But males and females exhibit fundamental differences in their biology, and it remains largely unknown how sex differences affect macroevolutionary patterns. On microevolutionary scales, we understand how natural and sexual selection interact to give rise to sex-specific evolution during phenotypic diversification and...
