Abstract excerpt
Chromosomal inversions have been identified in many natural populations and can be responsible for novel traits and rapid adaptation. In zebra finch, a large region on the Z chromosome has been subject to multiple inversions, which have pleiotropic effects on multiple traits but especially on sperm phenotypes, such as midpiece and flagellum length. To understand the effect, the Z inversion has on these traits, we...
