Sexually antagonistic (SA) genetic variation—in which alleles favored in one sex are
disfavored in the other—is predicted to be common and has been documented in several …

Sexual antagonism (SA) occurs when an allele that is beneficial to one sex, is detrimental to
the other. This conflict can result in balancing, directional, or disruptive selection acting on …

Sex differences in the fitness effects of alleles at a single locus (intralocus sexual
antagonism, or SA) have several evolutionary consequences. Among the consequences of …

Evolutionary conflict permeates biological systems. In sexually reproducing organisms, sex-
specific optima mean that the same allele can have sexually antagonistic expression, ie …

There is increasing evidence of segregating sexually antagonistic (SA) genetic variation for
fitness in laboratory and wild populations, yet the conditions for the maintenance of such …

The study of sexually antagonistic (SA) traits remains largely limited to dioecious (separate
sex), mobile animals. However, the occurrence of sexual conflict is restricted neither by …

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 …

Sexual antagonism occurs when there is a positive intersexual genetic correlation in trait
expression but opposite fitness effects of the trait (s) in males and females. As such, it …

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

Sex differences in selection are ubiquitous in sexually reproducing organisms. When the
genetic basis of traits is shared between the sexes, such sexually antagonistic selection …
