Male genotype affects female fitness in a paternally investing species.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Aug 2006

Wedell N

Abstract excerpt

Male nutrient provisioning is widespread in insects. Females of some species use male-derived nutrients for increased longevity and reproductive output. Despite much research into the consequences of paternal nutrient investment for male and female fitness, the heritability, and therefore the potential of this trait to respond to selection, has rarely been examined. Males of several butterfly species provide the...
