Pathogen dependent phenotypic but no genetic correlation between sexual activity and 3 immunity in male <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> subjected to differential sexual selection

2017-06-02

Abstract excerpt

The theory of trade-off suggest that limited resources should lead to trade-off in resource intensive traits such as immunity related and sexually selected traits in males. Alternatively, sexual exaggerations can also act as an honest indicator of underlying immunocompetence, leading to positive correlations between these traits. Several studies have addressed this question using experimental evolution. However, t...
