Genetic evidence for extreme polyandry and extraordinary sex-role reversal in a pipefish.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Dec 2001

Jones A G, Walker D, Avise J C

Abstract excerpt

Due to the phenomenon of male pregnancy, the fish family Syngnathidae (seahorses and pipefishes) has historically been considered an archetypal example of a group in which sexual selection should act more strongly on females than on males. However, more recent work has called into question the idea that all species with male pregnancy are sex-role reversed with respect to the intensity of sexual selection....
