Abstract excerpt
Postcopulatory sexual selection results from variation in competitive fertilization success among males and comprises powerful evolutionary forces that operate after the onset of mating.1,2 Theoretical advances in the field of sexual selection addressing the buildup and coevolutionary consequences of genetic coupling3-5 motivate the hypothesis that indirect postcopulatory sexual selection may promote evolution of...
