Genetic monogamy despite social promiscuity in the pot-bellied seahorse (Hippocampus abdominalis).

Molecular ecology - 1 Jun 2007

Wilson A B, Martin-Smith K M

Abstract excerpt

Sexual selection theory predicts a positive correlation between relative parental investment and mate choice. In syngnathid fishes (seahorses and pipefish), males brood offspring in specialized brooding structures. While female-female mating competition has been demonstrated in some pipefishes, all seahorses (genus Hippocampus) studied to date have been found to have conventional sex roles with greater male-male...
