Postcopulatory consequences of female mate choice in a fish with alternative reproductive tactics
Abstract
Mate choice plays a well-known role in the evolution of secondary sexual traits important in precopulatory competition. However, few studies have linked mate choice with the evolution of postcopulatory competitive traits. Here, we explore how variation in male mating behaviors and female mate choice influences male investment in reproductive traits that enhance sperm competition, a form of postcopulatory male–male competition. By combining …
