The evolution of alternative reproductive strategies: fitness differential, heritability, and genetic correlation between the sexes.

Abstract excerpt

Paternity analyses using molecular markers have become standard in studies of mating systems, parentage, and kinship. In systems where individuals exhibit alternative mating strategies, molecular analyses have been productively used to estimate the reproductive success of each behavioral type and hence the fitness consequences to each individual. Here we review the fitness results in a system of five alternative...
