Grant Activity:
Male-male competition vs female choice: same-same or something different?
Purpose:
This project aims to increase our understanding of the phenotypic, genetic and genomic outcomes of evolution, by both enhancing, and reversing, sexual selection in laboratory fruit flies. In doing so, this project expects to separate the entangled effects of female choice and male competition, generating new knowledge in evolutionary ecology and genetics. Expected outcomes of this project include identifying the separate molecular effects on the genome of selection through male competition and female choice. This should provide significant benefits in understanding the role of different forms of sexual selection in removing mutations and maintaining population fitness: vital factors in securing the long term viability of vulnerable species.
