This project explores how aging affects male reproductive success in guppies, focusing on sperm performance and the genetic basis of reproductive traits. The research aims to understand the evolutionary implications of sperm aging and its role in maintaining genetic variation.
Sexual selection is expected to generate intense directional selection on pre- and post-copulatory traits, however such traits typically exhibit considerable variation.
This presents a paradox because directional selection is expected to progressively erode genetic variation in sexually-selected traits by driving them to fixation.
Understanding how variance in male reproductive success is maintained, despite persistent directional selection for certain phenotypes, constitutes one of the major ch…
