Reproductive compensation.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Sept 2008

Abstract excerpt

The reproductive compensation hypothesis says that individuals constrained by ecological or social forces to reproduce with partners they do not prefer compensate for likely offspring viability deficits. The reproductive compensation hypothesis assumes that (i) pathogens and parasites evolve more...
