Genetic architecture of sexual selection: QTL mapping of male song and female receiver traits in an acoustic moth.

Genetic architecture of sexual selection: QTL mapping of male song and female receiver traits in an acoustic moth.

Models of indirect (genetic) benefits sexual selection predict linkage disequilibria between genes that influence male traits and female preferences, owing to non-random mate choice or physical linkage. Such linkage disequilibria can accelerate the evolution of traits and preferences to exaggerated...
