Male genotype influences female reproductive investment in Drosophila melanogaster.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Jul 2011

Pischedda Alison, Stewart Andrew D, Little Monica K, Rice William R

Abstract excerpt

In many species, males can influence the amount of resources their mates invest in reproduction. Two favoured hypotheses for this observation are that females assess male quality during courtship or copulation and alter their investment in offspring accordingly, or that males manipulate females to invest heavily in offspring produced soon after mating. Here, we examined whether there is genetic variation for...
