Recombination rates vary owing to an individual’s genetic composition
and/or its environmental condition. Yet, the effects of mating partner on
recombination rates have not been considered. Here, I document a
previously undescribed male-mediated effect on female recombination rates.
After crossing females to males from different genetic backgrounds, I
observed a significant difference in proportion of recombinant offspring
based on the genetic background of the father (p=0.0292; 3 df; F=3.07).
Genetic variation in male ability to affect recombination rate in their
mates suggests the potential for sexual conflict on optimal proportion of
recombinant offspring, perhaps leading to changes in population-level
recombination rates with varying levels of sexual selection.
