Abstract excerpt
Post-copulatory sexual selection has been proposed to drive the rapid evolution of reproductive proteins, and, more recently,to increase genome-wide mutation rates. Comparisons of rates of molecular evolution between lineages with different levels of female multiple mating represent a promising, but under-utilized, approach for testing the effects of sperm competition on sequence evolution. Here, I use...
