A sex-linked supergene with large effects on sperm traits has little impact on reproductive traits in female zebra finches.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 27 Mar 2024

Assersohn Katherine, Morton Oscar, Slate Jon, Hemmings Nicola

Abstract excerpt

Despite constituting an essential component of fitness, reproductive success can vary remarkably between individuals and the causes of such variation are not well understood across taxa. In the zebra finch-a model songbird, almost all the variation in sperm morphology and swimming speed is maintained by a large polymorphic inversion (commonly known as a supergene) on the Z chromosome. The relationship between...
