Selection for Male Weapons Boosts Female Fecundity, Eliminating Sexual Conflict in the Bulb Mite.

Scientific reports - 11 Feb 2020

Buzatto Bruno A, Clark Huon L

Abstract excerpt

Extreme differences between the sexes are usually explained by intense sexual selection on male weapons or ornaments. Sexually antagonistic genes, with a positive effect on male traits but a negative effect on female fitness, create a negative inter-sexual correlation for fitness (sexual conflict). However, such antagonism might not be apparent if sexually selected male traits are condition-dependent, and...
