Good genes, genetic compatibility and the evolution of polyandry: use of the diallel cross to address competing hypotheses.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Mar 2007

Ivy T M

Abstract excerpt

Genetic benefits can enhance the fitness of polyandrous females through the high intrinsic genetic quality of females' mates or through the interaction between female and male genes. I used a full diallel cross, a quantitative genetics design that involves all possible crosses among a set of genetically homogeneous lines, to determine the mechanism through which polyandrous female decorated crickets (Gryllodes...
