Funded Activity Summary

Sex and mutations - testing the genic capture hypothesis. The proposed project will use a novel method to test a major outstanding theoretical problem in evolutionary biology and behavioural ecology. This will strengthen Australian research in this field and contribute to the growing international recognition it currently receives. The new methods developed will be useful to other researchers interested in mutation, sexual selection and the evolution and maintenance of sex. Part of the project will be conducted in collaboration with a leading researcher in the UK. This will strengthen the links between institution in Australia and the UK.
