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 …

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 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 …

Sexually dimorphic phenotypes arise largely from sex-specific gene expression, which has
mainly been characterized in sexually naïve adults. However, we expect sexual dimorphism …

Many genes are subject to contradictory selection pressures in males and females, and
balancing selection resulting from sexual conflict has the potential to substantially increase …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Genetic correlations between males and females are often thought to constrain the evolution
of sexual dimorphism. However, sexually dimorphic traits and the underlying sexually …

Intralocus sexual conflict (IaSC) is pervasive because males and females experience
differences in selection but share much of the same genome. Traits with integrated genetic …
