Effects of polyandry on male phenotypic diversity.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Nov 2010

Barbosa M, Dornelas M, Magurran A E

Abstract excerpt

Polyandry has the potential to affect the distribution of phenotypes and to shape the direction of sexual selection. Here, we explore this potential using Trinidadian guppies as a model system and ask whether polyandry leads to directional and/or diversifying selection of male phenotypic traits. In this study, we compare the phenotypic diversity of offspring from multiply and singly sired broods. To quantify...
