Directional postcopulatory sexual selection revealed by artificial insemination.

Nature - 23 Jan 2003

Evans Jonathan P, Zane Lorenzo, Francescato Samuela, Pilastro Andrea

Abstract excerpt

Postcopulatory sexual selection comprises both sperm competition, where the sperm from different males compete for fertilization, and cryptic female choice, where females bias sperm use in favour of particular males. Despite intense current interest in both processes as potential agents of directional sexual selection, few studies have attributed the success of attractive males to events that occur exclusively...
