Fitness consequences of female multiple mating: A direct test of indirect benefits
BACKGROUND: The observation that females mate multiply when males provide nothing but sperm - which sexual selection theory suggests is unlikely to be limiting - continues to puzzle evolutionary biologists. Here we test the hypothesis that multiple mating is prevalent under such circumstances becaus...
