Context-dependent genetic benefits of polyandry in a marine hermaphrodite.

Biology letters - 22 Dec 2007

Marshall Dustin J, Evans Jonathan P

Abstract excerpt

Numerous studies emphasize the potential indirect (genetic) benefits of polyandry in animals with resource-free mating systems. In this paper, we examine the potential for these benefits to fuel sexual selection and polyandry in the hermaphroditic ascidian Pyura stolonifera. Individuals were designated either sire (sperm producers) or dam (egg producers) at random and crossed in a North Carolina II breeding...
