Are indirect genetic benefits associated with polyandry? Testing predictions in a natural population of lemon sharks.

Molecular ecology - 1 Feb 2008

Abstract excerpt

Multiple mating has clear fitness benefits for males, but uncertain benefits and costs for females. We tested for indirect genetic benefits of polyandry in a natural population, by using data from a long-term genetic and demographic study of lemon sharks (Negaprion brevirostris) at Bimini, Bahamas. To do so, we followed the fates of individuals from six cohorts (450 age-0 and 254 age-1 fish) in relation to their...
