Abstract: | Background Sexual dimorphism in ecologically important traits is widespread, yet the differences in the genomic architecture between
the two sexes are largely unexplored. We employed a genome-wide multilocus approach to examine the sexual differences in population
subdivision, natural selection and linkage disequilibrium (LD) in a wild Siberian jay (Perisoreus infaustus) population, using genotypes at a total of 107 autosomal and Z-chromosomal microsatellites. |
