Equal fitness among alternative mating strategies in a harem polygynous insect.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 29 Jul 2020

Nason Sarah E, Kelly Clint D

Abstract excerpt

Alternative mating strategies are widespread among animal taxa, with strategies controlled by a genetic polymorphism (Mendelian strategy) being rarer in nature than condition-dependent developmental strategies. Mendelian strategies are predicted to have equal average fitnesses and the proportion of offspring produced by a strategy should equal the equilibrium proportion of individuals representing the strategy in...
