Artificial selection reveals the role of transcriptional constraints in the maintenance of life history variation

Artificial selection reveals the role of transcriptional constraints in the maintenance of life history variation

Abstract The trade‐off between reproduction and self‐maintenance is a cornerstone of life history theory, yet its proximate underpinnings are elusive. Here, we used an artificial selection approach to create replicated lines of Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) that differ genetically in their repr...
