Male phenotype predicts insemination success in guppies.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Jul 2002

Pilastro Andrea, Evans Jonathan P, Sartorelli Silvia, Bisazza Angelo

Abstract excerpt

Theory predicts that mate choice can lead to an increase in female fecundity if the secondary sexual traits used by females to assess male quality covary with the number of sperm transferred during copulation. Where females mate multiply, such a relationship between male attractiveness and ejaculate size may, additionally (or alternatively), serve to augment the effect of indirect selection by biasing paternity...
