This project investigates sexual dimorphism and sexually antagonistic selection in wild mammal populations. By combining molecular genetics with ecological data, it aims to understand the genetic and phenotypic factors that contribute to differences between male and female traits.
Selective pressures on males and females may be very different, leading to differences between the sexes (i.e. sexual dimorphism) in sexual ornamentation, weaponry, as well as body size, in many species.
Such different selective pressures on males and females may result in sexually antagonistic selection on the two sexes: genes that are advantageous when expressed in males, may by disadvantageous when expressed in females.
Given that sexual dimorphism is very abundant, it is likely that sexually…
