High levels of multiple paternity in Littorina saxatilis: hedging the bets?

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Mäkinen Tuuli, Panova Marina, André Carl

Abstract excerpt

The mating system of a species can have great effects on its genetic structure and evolution. We studied the extent of multiple paternity in a gastropod with internal fertilization, the intertidal snail Littorina saxatilis. Paternal genotype reconstruction based on microsatellite markers was performed on the offspring of wild, naturally fertilized females from 2 populations. The numbers of males contributing to...
