Sexual dimorphism is a substantial contributor to the diversity observed in nature, extending
from elaborate traits to the expression level of individual genes. Sexual conflict and sexually …

Sexual conflict occurs when selection acts in opposing directions on males and females.
Case studies in both vertebrates and invertebrates indicate that sexual conflict maintains …

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 …

Males and females share most of their genomes and express many of the same traits, yet the
sexes often have markedly different selective optima for these shared traits. This sexually …

Intralocus sexual conflict, where an allele benefits one sex at the expense of the other, has
an important role in shaping genetic diversity of populations through balancing selection …

Sexual conflict occurs when the genetic interests of males and females diverge. Recent
evidence supporting the view that male and female genomes are in conflict has now …

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 …

Genes with sex-biased expression show a number of unique properties and this has been
seen as evidence for conflicting selection pressures in males and females, forming a genetic …

Sexual conflict is a specific class of intergenomic conflict that describes the reciprocal sex-
specific fitness costs generated by antagonistic reproductive interactions. The potential for …

Extensive fitness variation for sexually antagonistic characters has been detected in nature.
However, current population genetic theory suggests that sexual antagonism is unlikely to …
