Sexually antagonistic selection promotes genetic divergence between males and females in an ant.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 26 Nov 2019

Eyer Pierre-André, Blumenfeld Alexander J, Vargo Edward L

Abstract excerpt

Genetic diversity acts as a reservoir for potential adaptations, yet selection tends to reduce this diversity over generations. However, sexually antagonistic selection (SAS) may promote diversity by selecting different alleles in each sex. SAS arises when an allele is beneficial to one sex but harmful to the other. Usually, the evolution of sex chromosomes allows each sex to independently reach different optima,...
