Rainfall-driven sex-ratio genes in African buffalo suggested by correlations between Y-chromosomal haplotype frequencies and foetal sex ratio

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The Y-chromosomal diversity in the African buffalo (<it>Syncerus caffer</it>) population of Kruger National Park (KNP) is characterized by rainfall-driven haplotype frequency shifts between year cohorts. Stable Y-chromoso...
