The Genetic Limits to Trait Evolution for a Suite of Sexually Selected Male Cuticular Hydrocarbons in Drosophila Serrata
Directional selection is prevalent in nature yet phenotypes tend to remain relatively constant, suggesting a limit to trait evolution. The genetic basis of evolutionary limits in unmanipulated populations, however, is generally not known. Given widespread pleiotropy, opposing selection on a focal tr...
