Experimental sexual selection affects the evolution of physiological and life history traits

Martin D. Garlovsky, Luke Holman, Andrew L. Brooks, Rhonda R. Snook & Zorana K. Novicic
Sexual selection and sexual conflict are expected to affect all aspects of the phenotype, not only traits that are directly involved in reproduction. Here, we show coordinated evolution of multiple physiological and life history traits in response to long-term experimental manipulation of the mating system in populations of Drosophila pseudoobscura. Development time was extended under polyandry relative to monogamy in both sexes, potentially due to higher investment in traits linked to sexual selection and sexual...
