Evolution of female multiple mating: A quantitative model of the "sexually selected sperm" hypothesis.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jan 2015

Bocedi Greta, Reid Jane M

Abstract excerpt

Explaining the evolution and maintenance of polyandry remains a key challenge in evolutionary ecology. One appealing explanation is the sexually selected sperm (SSS) hypothesis, which proposes that polyandry evolves due to indirect selection stemming from positive genetic covariance with male fertilization efficiency, and hence with a male's success in postcopulatory competition for paternity. However, the SSS...
