Title Genetic architecture of sexually selected traits - lessons from guppies Author(s) Brooks, Robert Rollins, Lee Ann Spyrou, Nicolle Conference name World Congress on Genetics Applied to Livestock Production (8th : 2006 : Minas Gerais, Brazil) Conference location Minas Gerais, Brazil Conference dates 13-18 Aug. 2006 Title of proceedings Proceedings of the 8th World Congress on Genetics Applied to Livestock Production 2006 Editor(s) [Unknown] Publication date 2006 Conference series World Congress on Genetics Applied to Livestock Production Start page 1 End page 4 Total pages 4 Publisher [The Conference] Place of publication [Minas Gerais, Brazil] Summary I discuss a number of experiments designed to explore the genetic basis of sexual ornamentation and associated life history traits in guppies. This system is unusual because of the large Y-linked contribution to ornamentation and male fitness, and because the Y-chromosome is implicated in inbreeding depression. I discuss the implications of intralocus sexual conflict for the evolution of sex-linkage in guppies and the potential for such a process to drive the evolutionary erosion of Y-chromosomes.
