This project investigates the genetic basis of male mating strategies in the ruff bird species. It aims to identify the genes responsible for three distinct male phenotypes using next-generation sequencing and genetic mapping techniques.
Competition for mates is one of the essential characteristics of all sexual reproducing organisms.
Sexual selection is particularly strong in males.
In some species males have developed several mating strategies to compete for females.
Until now the identification of the underlying genetic variation of these alternative strategies has remained largely elusive.
Here I propose to identify and study the genes responsible for the three different male phenotypes in the ruff Philomachus pugnax.
