Sperm competitive ability in Drosophila melanogaster associated with variation in male reproductive proteins.

Genetics - 1 Jan 2005

Fiumera Anthony C, Dumont Bethany L, Clark Andrew G

Abstract excerpt

Multiple mating by females establishes the opportunity for postcopulatory sexual selection favoring males whose sperm is preferentially employed in fertilizations. Here we use natural variation in a wild population of Drosophila melanogaster to investigate the genetic basis of sperm competitive ability. Approximately 101 chromosome 2 substitution lines were scored for components of sperm competitive ability (P1',...
