Table 2 Schematic overview of the effects of SR genes at conception
| Â | Wet periods (cohorts) | Dry periods (cohorts) |
|---|---|---|
Body condition and semen quality (population mean) | High | Low |
SR-distorter carrier (112) | SR distorter activity ♂-biased sex ratio | Low fertility |
SR-suppressor carrier (557) | Low fertility | SR suppressor activity 1:1 sex ratio1 |
Wild-type (not 112 or 557) | 1:1 sex ratio | ♀-biased sex ratio2 |
Frequency haplotype 112 | ↑ (SR distorter activity) | ↓ (low fertility 112-carriers) |
Frequency haplotype 557 | ↓ (low fertility 557-carriers) | ↑ (SR suppressor activity) |
Frequency other haplotypes | ↔ | ↔ |
Population sex ratio | ♂-biased | ♀-biased |
