Escalation and Morphological Constraints of Antagonistic Armaments in Water Striders

Escalation and Morphological Constraints of Antagonistic Armaments in Water Striders

Sexual conflict may result in the escalating coevolution of sexually antagonistic traits. However, our understanding of the evolutionary dynamics of antagonistic traits and their role in association with sex-specific escalation remains limited. Here we study sexually antagonistic coevolution in a ge...
