Genomic Characterization of a Hybrid Zone between Sex-role Reversed Jacanas
Meeting Abstract 33-7 Thursday, Jan. 5 15:00 – 15:15 Genomic Characterization of a Hybrid Zone between Sex-role Reversed Jacanas LIPSHUTZ, SE*; DERRYBERRY, EP; Tulane University slipshut@tulane.edu https://saralipshutz.wordpress.com/research/ In several hybrid zones between species with male-dominant mating systems, male aggression drives genetic introgression into the less aggressive species. Sex-role-reversed systems, in which females compete for access to mates, […]
