The genetic basis of variation in sexual aggression: Evolution versus social plasticity.

Molecular ecology - 1 May 2022

Scott Andrew M, Yan Janice L, Baxter Carling M, Dworkin Ian, Dukas Reuven

Abstract excerpt

Male sexual aggression towards females is a form of sexual conflict that can result in increased fitness for males through forced copulations (FCs) or coercive matings at the cost of female lifetime fitness. We used male fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) as a model system to uncover the genomic contributions to variation in FC, both due to standing variation in a wild population, and due to plastic changes...
