Morph-specific artificial selection reveals a constraint on the evolution of polyphenisms.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 30 May 2018

Buzatto Bruno A, Clark Huon L, Tomkins Joseph L

Abstract excerpt

Theory predicts that the evolution of polyphenic variation is facilitated where morphs are genetically uncoupled and free to evolve towards their phenotypic optima. However, the assumption that developmentally plastic morphs can evolve independently has not been tested directly. Using morph-specific artificial selection, we investigated correlated evolution between the sexes and male morphs of the bulb mite...
