Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: While males usually benefit from as many matings as possible, females often evolve various methods of resistance to matings. The prevalent explanation for this is that the cost of additional matings exceeds the benefits of receiving sperm from a large number of males. Here we demonstrate, however, a strongly deviating pattern of polyandry. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We analysed paternity in the...
