Intralocus sexual conflict, arising from selection for different alleles at the same locus in males and females, imposes a constraint on sex-specific adaptation. conflict can be alleviated by evolution of sex-limited genetic architectures phenotypic expression, but pleiotropic constraints may hinder this process. Here, we explored putative intralocus (co)variance poorly understood behavior with near male-limited expression. Same-sex behaviors (SSBs) generally do not conform to classic...
Abstract Species distributed across climatic gradients will typically experience spatial variation in selection, but gene flow can prevent such selection from causing population genetic differentiation and local adaptation. Here, we studied genomic of 415 individuals 34 populations the common wall lizard ( Podarcis muralis ) central Italy. This species is highly abundant throughout this region belong to a single lineage, yet there extensive phenotypic regimes. We used redundancy analysis to,...
Abstract The thermal sensitivity of early life stages can play a fundamental role in constraining species distributions. For egg‐laying ectotherms, cool temperatures often extend development time and exacerbate developmental energy cost. Despite these costs, egg laying is still observed at high latitudes altitudes. How embryos overcome the constraints posed by climates crucial knowledge for explaining persistence oviparous such environments understanding adaptation more broadly. Here, we...
Climate can exert an effect on the strength of sexual selection, but empirical evidence is limited. Here, we tested whether climate predicts geographic distribution and introgressive spread sexually selected male color ornamentation across 114 populations common wall lizard, Podarcis muralis. Coloration was highly structured landscape did not reflect genetic differentiation. Instead, consistently exaggerated in hot dry environments, suggesting that climate-driven selection maintains...
Abstract Common wall lizards ( Podarcis muralis ) in Italy show a striking variation body coloration across the landscape, with highly exaggerated black and green colors hot dry climates brown white cool wet climates. Males are more intensely colored than females, previous work has suggested that maintenance of landscape reflects climatic effects on strength male–male competition, through this sexual selection. However intensity competition would need to be exceptionally strong fully explain...
