The evolution of filial cannibalism and female mate choice strategies as resolutions to sexual conflict in fishes.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Apr 2000

Lindström K

Abstract excerpt

Filial cannibalism (the consumption of one's own viable offspring) is common among fish with paternal care. In this study, I use a computer simulation to study simultaneous evolution of male filial cannibalism and female mate choice. Under certain conditions, selection on parental males favors filial cannibalism. When filial cannibalism increases a male's probability to raise the current brood successfully,...
