Sperm competitive ability and indices of lifetime reproductive success.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Sept 2010

Fricke Claudia, Martin Oliver Y, Bretman Amanda, Bussière Luc F, Chapman Tracey

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the selection pressures shaping components of male reproductive success is essential for assessing the role of sexual selection on phenotypic evolution. A male's competitive reproductive success is often measured in sequential mating tests by recording P1 (first mating male) and P2 (second mating male) paternity scores. How each of these scores relates to a male's overall fitness, for example,...
