The genetic mating system of spotted sunfish (Lepomis punctatus): mate numbers and the influence of male reproductive parasites.

Molecular ecology - 1 Dec 2000

Dewoody J A, Fletcher D E, MacKiewicz M, Wilkins S D, Avise J C

Abstract excerpt

In nest-building fish species, mature males often exhibit one of two alternative reproductive behaviours. Bourgeois males build nests, court females, and guard their eggs. Parasitic cuckolders attempt to steal fertilizations from bourgeois males and do not invest in parental care. Previous evidence from the bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) suggests that adult males are morphologically specialized for these...
