Benefits of polyandry: Molecular evidence from field-caught dung beetles.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jul 2017

McCullough Erin L, Buzatto Bruno A, Simmons Leigh W

Abstract excerpt

When females mate with multiple males, they set the stage for postcopulatory sexual selection via sperm competition and/or cryptic female choice. Surprisingly little is known about the rates of multiple mating by females in the wild, despite the importance of this information in understanding the potential for postcopulatory sexual selection to drive the evolution of reproductive behaviour, morphology and...
