Highly variable sperm precedence in the stalk-eyed fly, Teleopsis dalmanni.

BMC evolutionary biology - 26 Jun 2006

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: When females mate with different males, competition for fertilizations occurs after insemination. Such sperm competition is usually summarized at the level of the population or species by the parameter, P2, defined as the proportion of offspring sired by the second male in double mating trials. However, considerable variation in P2 may occur within populations, and such variation limits the utility of...
