Recessive Z-linked lethals and the retention of haplotype diversity in a captive butterfly population.

Heredity - 1 Aug 2020

Saccheri Ilik J, Whiteford Samuel, Yung Carl J, Van't Hof Arjen E

Abstract excerpt

Sex chromosomes are predicted to harbour elevated levels of sexually antagonistic variation due to asymmetries in the heritability of recessive traits in the homogametic versus heterogametic sex. This evolutionary dynamic may manifest as high recessive load specifically affecting the homogametic sex, and the retention of haplotype diversity in small populations. We tested the hypothesis that the Z chromosome in...
