This study investigates the genetic basis of intralocus sexual conflict in great tits, focusing on how male and female traits evolve under opposing selection pressures. It aims to identify genetic regions associated with these conflicts and their impact on fitness and population dynamics.
Optimal trait values often differ between the sexes.
However, when male and female traits are controlled by the same genes, the influence of directional selection in one sex will be counteracted by opposite selection in the other sex, resulting in negative cross-sex genetic covariance for fitness and evolutionary stasis.
Such a situation, termed “intralocus sexual conflict” (ISC), is believed to be common but has received little attention. A better understanding of the evolutionary dynamic of IS…
