Stress-induced GV:
- Increase the total additive GV available for selection
- Suggest a plausible mechanism for the evolution of sex &
recombination

The problem with recombination
• Recombination load
– “The Reduction Principle” (Feldman et al. 1980)
• Recombination evolves under limited conditions in classic models
– e.g. weak negative epistasis
• But, a constant rate of recombination is assumed
![Page 4: Zhong Nottingham Jan 2012 [FINAL]](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052418/58cec8521a28ab09548b5ed7/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Recombination as a plastic trait
• Numerous examples of stress-induced recombination
– Temperature (Plough 1917; Grell 1971; Zhong & Priest 2011)
– Nutrition (Neel 1941)
– Mating (Priest et al. 2007; Stevison 2011)
– Introduction of deleterious mutations (Tedman-Aucoin & Agrawal 2011)
Meiotic recombination is a plastic trait that is sensitive
to physiological state of the organism.

Fitness-Associated Recombination
• FAR modifiers evolve under
broad range of conditions
(Hadany & Beker 2003):
– Form direct association with
locus under selection
– No epistasis required
• Require maternal effect on
recombination to work in
diploids (Agrawal et al. 2005)

1. Does maternal stress affect offspring recombination?
2. Is there a negative relationship between fitness and recombination?
Testing them requires multi-generation experiments
with biologically realistic stress that assess direct
correlation between fitness and recombination.

Implications
• Fitness Associated Recombination might be
relatively rare in nature (in Diploids)
– Weaker association between modifier and selected
loci
• Maternal ‘priming’ effects can have unexpected
consequences
– Interaction between maternal cues (past stress
exposure) and offspring stress (current exposure)
– Do populations possess stress ‘memory’?

Take-home message
The effects of stress on genetic variation
extend beyond a single generation…
…though exposure to stress does not
always increase the genetic potential for
adaptation.
