The relative nature of fertilization success: implications for the study of post-copulatory sexual selection.

BMC evolutionary biology - 12 May 2008

García-González Francisco

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The determination of genetic variation in sperm competitive ability is fundamental to distinguish between post-copulatory sexual selection models based on good-genes vs compatible genes. The sexy-sperm and the good-sperm hypotheses for the evolution of polyandry require additive (intrinsic) effects of genes influencing sperm competitiveness, whereas the genetic incompatibility hypothesis invokes...
