Nontransitivity of sperm precedence in Drosophila.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jun 2000

Clark A G, Dermitzakis E T, Civetta A

Abstract excerpt

Sperm competition is an important component of fitness in Drosophila, but we still do not have a clear understanding of the unit of selection that is relevant to sperm competition. Here we demonstrate that sperm competitive ability is not a property of the sperm haplotype, but rather of the diploid male's genotype. Then we test whether the relative sperm competitive ability of males can be ranked on a linear...
