Hox genes mediate the escalation of sexually antagonistic traits in water striders
Sexual conflict occurs when traits favoured in one sex impose fitness costs on the other sex. In the case of sexual conflict over mating rate, the sexes often undergo antagonistic coevolution and escalation of traits that enhance females' resistance to superfluous mating and traits that increas...
