Mendel's law reveals fatal flaws in Bateman's 1948 study of mating and fitness.

Fly - 1 Jan 2000

Gowaty Patricia Adair, Kim Yong-Kyu, Anderson Wyatt W

Abstract excerpt

Bateman's experimental study of Drosophila melanogaster produced conclusions that are now part of the bedrock premises of modern sexual selection. Today it is the most cited experimental study in sexual selection, and famous as the first experimental demonstration of sex differences in the relationship between number of mates and relative reproductive success. We repeated the experimental methodology of the...
