Fertilization success and the estimation of genetic variance in sperm competitiveness.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Mar 2011

Garcia-Gonzalez Francisco, Evans Jonathan P

Abstract excerpt

A key question in sexual selection is whether the ability of males to fertilize eggs under sperm competition exhibits heritable genetic variation. Addressing this question poses a significant problem, however, because a male's ability to win fertilizations ultimately depends on the competitive ability of rival males. Attempts to partition genetic variance in sperm competitiveness, as estimated from measures of...
