Abstract excerpt
Quantifying sex-specific additive genetic variance (VA ) in fitness, and the cross-sex genetic correlation (rA ), is prerequisite to predicting evolutionary dynamics and the magnitude of sexual conflict. Further, quantifying VA and rA in underlying fitness components, and genetic consequences of immigration and resulting gene flow, is required to identify mechanisms that maintain VA in fitness. However, these key...
