Abstract excerpt

In promiscuous mating systems, both males and females mate with several partners. While the benefits of multiple mating are well recognized for males, there are several non-mutually exclusive hypotheses to explain multiple mating for females. Promiscuity is widespread in terrestrial isopods. Here, we placed experimental populations of the terrestrial isopod Armadillidium vulgare under varying sex ratios to...
