Do genetic diversity effects drive the benefits associated with multiple mating? A test in a marine invertebrate.

PloS one - 12 Aug 2009

McLeod Laura, Marshall Dustin J

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Mothers that mate with multiple males often produce higher quality offspring than mothers that mate with a single male. By engaging in polyandry, mothers may increase their chances of mating with a compatible male or promote sperm competition -- both of which act to increase maternal...
