Sexually antagonistic selection maintains genetic variance when sexual dimorphism evolves

Genetic variance (V(G)) in fitness related traits is often unexpectedly high, evoking the question how V(G) can be maintained in the face of selection. Sexually antagonistic (SA) selection favouring alternative alleles in the sexes is common and predicted to maintain V(G), while directional selectio...
