Third, because sexual selection acts on traits related to reproductive success, we predict interpopulation divergence in SFP abundance to be functional in the sense that it affects important reproductive phenotypes.
When small, isolated populations of hymenopterans with sl-CSD face an elevated threat of extinction due to a diploid male load [ 36], selection will act on traits or behaviours that counteract the diploid male load.
Studies seeking to find the differences in DNA that can predict this variation have often assumed that the changes in DNA act on traits independently of the effect of environment and of other genetic variants.
In general, canalization acts to limit trait sensitivity to changes in the environment and/or the genetic background (Waddington 1942; Schmalhausen 1949; Lerner 1954).
