Carranza , J., Pérez-González, J., Mateos, C., Fernández-García, J. L. (2009). Parents’ genetic dissimilarity and offspring sex in a polygynous mammal. Molecular Ecology 18, 4964-4973. Offspring quality may benefit from genetic dissimilarity between parents. However, genetic dissimilarity may trade‐off with additive genetic benefits. We hypothesized that when sexual selection produces sex‐specific selective scenarios, the relative Leer másCarranza, J. et al. (2009)[…]

Combined effects of drought and density on body and antler size of male Iberian red deer (Cervus elaphus hispanicus): implications for climate change prospects. Wildlife Biology 15, 213-221. Hunting management of red deer Cervus elaphus populations may tend to increase population densities to maximise annual yield. Some studies have Leer másTorres-Porras, J. et al. (2009)[…]

Molecular Ecology 18: 1591-1600. Polygyny is expected to erode genetic variability by reducing the diversity of geneticcontribution of males to the next generation, although empirical evidence shows thatgenetic variability in Leer másPérez-González, J. et al.
