Sex‐specific natural selection on snps in silene latifolia

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    The authors found that while phenotypic selection was congruent (fitness covaried similarly with flowering traits in both sexes), SNPs showed clear evidence for sex-specific selection. While the most significant SNPs under selection in males differed from those under selection in females, paternity selection showed a highly polygenic tradeoff with female survival. KEY WORDS: dioecious, fitness, paternity, selection component analysis, sex-specific selection, sexual dimorphism. The authors identified loci under sex-specific selection in this species and found more loci affecting fitness in males than females. Sexual dimorphism is nearly universal in organisms with . . .
