Genetic variation in male effects on female reproduction and the genetic covariance between the sexes.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jun 2003

Czesak Mary Ellen, Fox Charles W

Abstract excerpt

Males of many insect species increase the fecundity and/or egg size of their mates through the amount or composition of their nuptial gifts or ejaculate. The genetic bases of such male effects on fecundity or egg size are generally unknown, and thus their ability to evolve remains speculative. Likewise, the genetic relationship between male and female investment into reproduction in dioecious species, which is...
