Intralocus sexual conflict occurs when selection on a shared trait in one sex displaces the
other sex from its phenotypic optimum. It arises because many shared traits have a common …

The sexes show profound differences in responses to infection and the development of
autoimmunity. Dimorphisms in immune responses are ubiquitous across taxa, from …

Sexual reproduction is a fundamental aspect of life. It is defined by the occurrence of meiosis
and the fusion of two gametes of different sexes or mating types. Sex-determination …

When selective pressures differ between males and females, the genes experiencing these
conflicting evolutionary forces are said to be sexually antagonistic. Although the phenotypic …

As the evolutionary interests of males and females are frequently divergent, a trait value that
is optimal for the fitness of one sex is often not optimal for the other. A shared genome also …

The ability to identify genetic markers in nonmodel systems has allowed geneticists to
construct linkage maps for a diversity of species, and the sex-determining locus is often …

Intralocus sexual conflict arises when there are sex‐specific optima for a trait that is
expressed in both sexes and when the constraint of a shared gene pool prevents males and …

Intralocus sexual conflict (IaSC) occurs when selection at a given locus favors different
alleles in males and females, placing a fundamental constraint on adaptation. However, the …

Polyandry, by elevating sexual conflict and selecting for reduced male care relative to
monandry, may exacerbate the cost of sex and thereby seriously impact population fitness …

Males and females have different fitness optima but share the vast majority of their genomes,
causing an inherent genetic conflict between the two sexes that must be resolved to achieve …
