Evolutionary trajectories of quantitative traits are influenced by the underlying genetic architecture of such traits. But traits do not occur in isolation, and the genetic covariation between traits can be statistically summarized by the additive genetic variance covariance matrix, G. I studied the evolution of G for five morphological traits which are conserved, and five song traits which are presumably under sexual selection, using a half-sib breeding design in grasshoppers. I also studied male indirect genetic effects (IGEs) under a potential sexual conflict scenario in a grasshopper, as IGEs can manipulate female reproductive traits to maximize fitness because of conflicting evolutionary interests over trade-offs between current and fu...
