The t Complex: A Story of Genes, Behavior, and Populations

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the major molecular, behavioral, and population features of t complex as an illustration relevance data gathered at one level analysis for interpretations other levels. Behavior may be a factor in determining frequency haplotypes wild mice. Genes within appear to have important effects on mating preference, parental investment, aggressive behavior. There are probably two ways which behavior regulates gene frequency. First, it seems likely that there is selection because possession mutation enhances male In all respects, however, appears lower fitness mice capable behaviorally altering transmission these otherwise deleterious genes their progeny. large number pleiotropic consequences Understanding behavioral genotype can elucidate, turn, process controlling natural populations.
