Sexually antagonistic selection maintains genetic variance when sexual dimorphism evolves

<p>Breeding design data for body size in seed beetles (a sexually antagonistic trait) after 10 generations under different artificial selection conditions to test the effects of selection on the genetic variance of body size. The breeding design and sample size of the study allow us to partition genetic variances into additive autosomal, additive sex-linked, autosomal dominance and X-linked dominance variance.<br><br>See related dataset for body size data of the ancestral population before selection.</p>
