Recent technological developments in genetic screening approaches have offered the means to start exploring quantitative genotype-phenotype relationships on a large-scale. What remains unclear is the
Theory predicts that sex chromsome linkage should reduce intersexual genetic correlations thereby allowing the evolution of sexual dimorphism. Empirical evidence for sex linkage has come largely fro
This table summarizes the observed patterns of sex-specific differences in demographic parameters reported in a number of recent studies. The first column lists the location of the sampled populations
Chr: Chromosome; Pos: position; EAF: Effect Allele Frequency; EA: Effect allele; OA: Other allele a ‘Yes’ if the locus is mentioned as WHRadjBMI locus for the first time b ‘Yes’ if the sex-difference
Sex-specific genetic structure is a commonly observed pattern among vertebrate species. Facing differential selective pressures, individuals may adopt sex-specific life history traits that ultimately
