Female Life-History Trade-Offs and the Maintenance of Genetic Variation in Drosophila melanogaster.

The American naturalist - 1 Oct 2018

Arbuthnott Devin

Abstract excerpt

Why do we observe substantial variation in fitness-related traits under strong natural or sexual selection? While there is support for several selective and neutral mechanisms acting in select systems, we lack a comprehensive analysis of the relative importance of various mechanisms within a single system. Furthermore, while sexually selected male traits have been a central focus of this paradox, female sexual...
