Patterns and Constraints in the Evolution of Sperm Individualization Genes in Insects, with an Emphasis on Beetles

Patterns and Constraints in the Evolution of Sperm Individualization Genes in Insects, with an Emphasis on Beetles

Gene expression profiles can change dramatically between sexes and sex bias may contribute specific macroevolutionary dynamics for sex-biased genes. However, these dynamics are poorly understood at large evolutionary scales due to the paucity of studies that have assessed orthology and functional ho...
