Genetic detection of sperm from forced copulations between sympatric populations of Poecilia reticulata and Poecilia picta

2006-07-01

Abstract excerpt

The reproductive success of the sneaky mating tactic is difficult to determine in fish with internal fertilization. We approached this problem by developing an assay that allows the recovery of sperm DNA from the reproductive tract of females. This assay was used to test whether sperm transfer occurs between sympatric populations of the guppy, Poecilia reticulata, and its putative sister species, Poecilia picta. S...
