Molecular evidence for multiple paternity in a feral population of green swordtails.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Simmons Leigh W, Beveridge Maxine, Evans Jonathan P

Abstract excerpt

Genetic parentage analyses provide insights into mating systems and have revealed widespread evidence for polyandry in natural populations. Here, we use 5 microsatellite markers to estimate female mating rates in a feral population of green swordtails, Xiphophorus helleri, a live-bearing poeciliid fish that has become a model system in the study of precopulatory mate choice and mating competition. Although...
