Sexual selection drives weak positive selection in protamine genes and high promoter divergence, enhancing sperm competitiveness
Phenotypic adaptations may be the result of changes in gene structure or gene regulation, but little is known about the evolution of gene expression. In addition, it is unclear whether the same selective forces may operate at both levels simultaneously. Reproductive proteins evolve rapidly, but the...
