The roles of sexual selection and sexual conflict in shaping patterns of genome and transcriptome variation
Sexual dimorphism is one of the most prevalent, and often the most extreme, examples of
phenotypic variation within species, and arises primarily from genomic variation that is …

Sexual dimorphism in the age of genomics: how, when, where
DF Deegan, N Engel - Frontiers in cell and developmental biology, 2019 - frontiersin.org
In mammals, sex chromosomes start to program autosomal gene expression and epigenetic
patterns very soon after fertilization. Yet whether the resulting sex differences are …

Sex-specific selection drives the evolution of alternative splicing in birds
Males and females of the same species share the majority of their genomes, yet they are
frequently exposed to conflicting selection pressures. Gene regulation is widely assumed to …

The search for sexually antagonistic genes: Practical insights from studies of local adaptation and statistical genomics
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 …

Species differences in hormonally mediated gene expression underlie the evolutionary loss of sexually dimorphic coloration in Sceloporus lizards
Phenotypic sexual dimorphism often involves the hormonal regulation of sex-biased
expression for underlying genes. However, it is generally unknown whether the evolution of …

Increased male-induced harm in response to female-limited selection: interactive effects between intra-and interlocus sexual conflict?
AÁ Romero-Haro… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Interlocus sexual conflict (IRSC) occurs because of shared interactions that have opposite
effects on male and female fitness. Typically, it is assumed that loci involved in IRSC have …
