Looking for the right mate in diploid species: How does genetic dominance affect the spatial differentiation of a sexual trait?

Journal of theoretical biology - 14 Jun 2018

Abstract excerpt

Divergence between populations for a given trait can be driven by sexual selection, interacting with migration behaviour. Mating preference for different phenotypes may lead to specific migration behaviour, with departures from populations where the preferred trait is rare. Such preferences can then trigger the emergence and persistence of differentiated populations, even without any local adaptation. However the...
